Copenhagen Housing: Denmark Homes

post updated 21 September 2025

e-architect select important examples of Copenhagen Housing. Our aim is to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed buildings, new Copenhagen residential building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the city. The focus is on contemporary buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

We have 1 page of Copenhagen Housing selections with links to many individual project pages.

The housing project Kajkanten is the most recent expansion on Havnestaden – the area adjacent to Havneparken at Islands Brygge. Following Kalvedbod Brygge, Havnestaden is the next large development project in the inner harbour of Copenhagen. With its new community centre and summer attractions, including the green lawn and harbour pool, Havneparken appears as a new cultural dynamo of Copenhagen.
