Metropolis, Residential building in Sluseholmen, Denmark.

The Metropolis residential building stands on a four-meter elevated peninsula at Sluseholmen's edge, encompassing 44 apartments within an 11-floor structure.

This high-rise building, completed in 2008, marks the transformation of Copenhagen's harbor area from industrial spaces into modern residential developments.

Danish and English architects collaborated to design the clover-shaped structure, integrating maritime elements through porthole windows and mussel-inspired concrete facades.

The building contains four separate atriums serving as entry points, with each apartment featuring ceiling-high windows and curved balconies overlooking Sydhavnen.

The structure incorporates marble powder in its concrete facade, creating a blue shimmering effect that changes appearance with different light conditions.
