Apart from the foundations that are believed to be remnants from a cannon foundry from Christian IV’s time, the house was listed as a fireproof styled house from 1738 with several additions through the years of the 1700 century. In 1847 the renovation and furnishing for the art craft business was made, which there still are significant parts preserved by. The old family business I.G. Schwartz and Son (founded in 1801 by Johan Georg Scwartz) has coincided with his son, J.A. Schwartz joining the firm, refurbished the entire building for retail and office purposes and the back building Pilestræde 40C as a workshop. The workshop produced finer works of ivory, turtle shells etc. like chess pieces, umbrella handles, etc.. In 1837, on the son’s trip to Paris (where he may have met Tivoli’s founder, Georg Carstensen) and London the son probably gathered ideas for a modern refurbishment of his father’s business and the project was headed by architect H.C. Stilling, who among other things had designed several of Tivoli’s buildings. The reconstruction included the adding a floor to the house, new entryway, storefront and interior. Read more
Pilestræde 40 A-B is an ordinary house in a neighborhood that contains many layers of Copenhagen’s history .
Pixel Garden City in Sundholm South is about sustainability:
- socially, by being a development, open to the residents’ wishes and needs for community spirit, diversity and multiplicity, as expressed by the residents themselves.
- green, because each resident can grow their own vegetables, flowers, bushes or trees and inspire each other. The cradle-to-cradle principle forms the base for the pixel gardens and the balcony greenhouses.
The Garden City. Diversity and coherence.
Pixel Garden City is a dense city dwelling and a garden city all at once. This has been accomplished by building high-rises, all turned in relation to one another for maximum light and air between the buildings. The high-rises leave a small footprint and social meeting places are the basic principle for the garden city, facilitating workshops, local shops, etc. in the ground floor dwellings. The aim is to create life in the garden city around the clock and throughout the week to ensure a sustainable social life among the buildings.
City gardens. Greenery for everyone.
The gardens are enclosed by wire fences and are either private, public or small enclosed wooded areas. The see-through fences make it possible for everybody to enjoy the greenery. The balconies can be turned into greenhouses by pushing the facades’ light plates to. A heavy back wall to the balcony ensures that the heat stays there. The tallest of the houses have roof gardens, collecting rain water for watering the gardens, among other things.
The houses. Spaces and city life.
The Pixel Garden City’s houses and overall plan are unlike anything else in the area, the area will function as a buffer and an informal meeting place between Sundholm’s heavy pavillons and Hørgården’s rational concrete high-rises. The project is a clear expression of the area’s special characteristics and identity where social threads create coherence between the surrounding areas. The development invites residents and neighbours to set up a fresh agenda between the new and the present by being a “trickle zone” with great openness via paths criss-crossing the entire area.
City life before buildings
The informal and democratic openness forms the base of the Pixel Garden City’s character. The project’s social aspect is the leverage for ownership, community spirit and city life, both now and in the future. Also, there’s great potential for variation of the pixel gardens, their degree of privacy, quality, shape and use.
Cultural heritage
Heading up the Bertelsen & Scheving Architects are the two partners, Jens Bertelsen and Hans Scheving backed by a young and creative team of 18. The practice was formed in October 2007 by the two partners.
Each of the projects that the practice takes on has an inherent element of cultural heritage, such as the Savannah stable from 2010 for the Knuthenborg Safari Park’s huge romantic garden, which was partly restored by the practice in 2007-09. Likewise, the extensive renovation of the Rose House from 1914, the former administration building for world famous brewery Tuborg.
At present, the practice is working on a new administration building for Haldor Topsøe (a large Danish catalysis company). An assignment won at a competition in the autumn of 2010.
