Holm Residences
Overview
A twelve-floor residential tower on the Copenhagen waterfront. The facade is warm vertical timber with full-height glazing throughout. At street level, a landscaped courtyard connects the building to the dock.
Location
Nordhavn, Copenhagen. The harbour district sits ten minutes from the city centre by metro, surrounded by waterways, independent restaurants, and one of the better Saturday markets in the city.

The architects designed the tower with a single constraint. Nothing should compete with the water. The result is a building that gets quieter and more considered the longer you look at it.
Built to be looked at from the water and from within. The details hold up at both distances.
"Holm does something rare for a building of this scale. It makes restraint feel generous. The timber, the proportions, none of it is accidental, and none of it is trying too hard."
