Cobe wins Paper Island in Copenhagen
Cobe wins the competition for the future development of Paper Island, also known as Christiansholm, in Copenhagen's inner harbor. With a prime location right across from the Opera House and the Royal Danish Playhouse, Paper Island is the crown jewel of the inner harbour. Together with Inside Outside, Transsolar and Via Trafik we envision a series of new halls for informal, public functions, building on the island's current status as a vibrant urban destination in central Copenhagen.

New landmark in Copenhagen's Nordhavn

Like a lighthouse marking the first neighbourhood to be completed in the area, the Tip of Redmolen stands out an office building and public space that will serve as a visible entrance to the Copenhagen Harbour.
The Silo before and after
In one year The Silo will be completed, and the former industrial grain silo in Copenhagen's Nordhavnen district will be converted into private apartments and public functions including exhibition space and dining facilities at the top and bottom floor.

The exhibition coincides with the release of our first book published by Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing celebrating our learnings from Copenhagen the past ten years.
Cobe awarded Gazelle for the fourth year in a row
