Brick buildings of various typologies have been characteristic to Copenhagen’s architecture since the medieval times. In the city’s affluent Frederiksberg district, going back to the 17th century, deep red and copper brown bricks cover the façades of several churches, public palaces and numerous housing blocks. In this way, the new façade blends into the existing street, while still maintaining its difference.

With its warm brick façade, the new building respectfully greets its older neighbors.

Antwerp’s Cadix district in is a former port area in transformation. The peninsula to the north of the city center is characterized by a heterogeneous block structure of old warehouses, residential buildings and barracks. For several years now, new, large-scale residential structures have been implanted in this historical fabric — including the Harbour Building, which towers unmistakably next to the quay wall of the Kattendijk Dock. Together with four other buildings designed by Bovenbouw Architectuur and Bulk Architecten, it forms a new city block with a green common inner courtyard.

This is rich, resilient brick architecture, ideal for this great harbour city.
