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.

New landmark in Copenhagen's Nordhavn
Cobe wins the competition to design a 25,000 m² office building for PFA Ejendomme in Copenhagen's Nordhavn district.

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.
