the canon house

copehagen habor

The Canon House is a small townhouse developed, designs designed by Entasis Architects in Copenhagen.

The Canon House is situated among former workshop buildings for fabrication of weapons. Honest buildings with insitu cast concrete constructions cladded with red bricks.

The Canon House contains Entasis´ office at ground floor.

First floor is for rent - for officepurpose. Table by table or the whole lot.

The 3 upper levels contain 5 apartments. Where the 2 lower levels for office are protected from the sun be the very close vicinity of the neighbor buildings, the facades and volume of the apartments are stepped back giving distance to the neighbors opening to the sky and sun.

The construction is casted in situ in self compacting concrete. The surface is sanded by handwork. The result is heavily reducing the shine of the concrete into dusty grey nuances. Not unlike the works of Hammershøi (Danish painter 1864 – 1916).

The concrete is cladded with red homogeneous bricks with red joints. The bricks are laid in a strong horizontal relief towards south and west, and a more subtle but still horizontal relief towards east and west. The horizontal orientation is underlining the vertical lines. And the nearness to the harbor basins and the see seems obvious to quote in detail.

Inside the contrast to the rough grey toned concrete walls and ceilings is given by oak floors, bringing a warm luminance to the picture. Large curtains in wool and doors from floor to ceiling underline the greatness of the modern dynamic spaces.

the canon house

the apartments

The Apartments of the Canon House are for the few who are looking for a private space with an unique ambience. Our aim has been to create a rich and intense interior, where every detail is important and closely choreographed into a modern “gesamtkunstwerk”.

The entrance to the house is everything but the white cold space that you normally find in modern buildings, totally ignoring our claim of the cozy Copenhagen atmosphere. Instead you find a space in dimmed light, an extraordinary height to the ceiling, jade green tiles from Morocco and a black painted steel stair with a green carpet combing hard and soft. The idea is that you feel “at home” when entering the house, and not only when you enter the apartment.

Inside the apartments you find no white and dull surfaces, but concrete, wood, tiles, giant mirrors and textile rich in texture and surface. And you find surprisingly view and amount of sky in this very new and dense neighborhood.

the red block in aarhusgade a new high end neighborhood The Canon House is the first of three new buildings with in the small, green, intimate and cozy block of in the new Aarhusgade City District.

Aarhusgade City Distict Copenhagens new high end neighborhood is at same time an extension of Easterbro and a unique new part of the Copenhagen Harbor line. For the first time in 100 years the planners, investors and architects succeed in creating the ambience of “City” leaving the misunderstandings of the modernistic planning behind. At Aarhusgade you find the density needed for city life. You find the right mixture of offices and residentials. And most important you will find a unique and ambitious plan for retail, restaurants and culture in an 11.000 m2 open mall where you will find classical shops as baker, slaughter and florist. The ambition is to reach the full liveliness of Torvehallerne at Israels Plads in inner city. Part of the strategy is to open more restaurants: in the streets and one on the top of The Silo. Finally a luxurious cinema will open in 2-3 years.

The Aarhusgade City District is gifted with a new recreative south oriented boardwalk where you can relax, swim, run or rent a kayak. The shops and restaurants will primarily be oriented towards Aarhusgade. And we will add a green inner garden, private but open for the public in our small block.

The public transport to Aarhusgade City District is flawless. Towards west the district is defined by Nordhavn Station with a 100% network on busses and trains. In 2 years the metro line will be opened at the feet of our small block. And the harbor bus will most likely also appear.

Cars are parked at protected parking houses topped with a playground with a spectacular view over the sea.

The Red Block consists by old workshop buildings, where AP Moller in the past produced weapons for export. The old workshop buildings consists all of construction cast in concrete, cladded with red bricks with the important and delicate detail that also the joint is red. The 3 new buildings of the block continue in the same track of materials, but add a subtle modern architectural language. The Canon House is the first of the three new buildings.

These red buildings stand in a green recreative landscape with a mild micro climate: No wind – but calmness. Light trees, perennials, small fountains will frame two café´s where people chat and read the newspaper. The inner garden is also a discrete passage leading from the Metro Plaza to the Board Walk at the dock. This will be implemented within 2-2½ years.
