Pakhus 47

Pakhus 47 in Copenhagen’s Northern Harbour has been carefully transformed from historic warehouse into modern office spaces, where industrial details meet the functional needs of the future. Originally constructed for the storage of coffee and goods from the East, Pakhus 47 plays a central role in the development of Sundmolen, demonstrating how resource-conscious renovation can merge sustainability with the preservation of industrial heritage to create a modern office framework.

The original building structure – including its robust concrete construction and steel detailing – has been carefully preserved and integrated with modern features that introduce light, flexibility, and transparency.

Inside, raw concrete, exposed brick walls, and natural materials create an inspiring environment. A central spiral staircase links the floors, encouraging social interaction. Large, round windows facing the waterfront open the building to its surroundings and reinforce its connection to the harbour.

The open ground floor is designed as an inviting public meeting place. It accommodates a restaurant as well as several meeting and communal spaces, bringing life to the area—even beyond regular office hours. The open-plan layout provides a fluid transition between Klubiensvej and the waterfront, reinforcing the building’s role as a social and cultural hub.
