Pier47, Office building at Langelinie Pier, Copenhagen, Denmark
Pier47 is an office building at Langelinie Pier with seven stories of red brick walls that reference historical warehouse design. The structure includes an elongated central atrium that brings natural light into work areas and features flexible open spaces along its exterior walls.
The building was constructed as part of Copenhagen's harbor redevelopment in the 2010s and completed in 2016. The Langelinie site was previously defined by port operations and industrial warehouse structures.
The building's design references 19th century warehouse architecture visible throughout the harbor district. Red brick facades echo the area's maritime past, while the window arrangement reflects modern working styles.
The building sits directly on the harbor and is easy to reach by public transport, with good connections to the city center. Visitors can explore the outdoor areas and waterfront, while interior spaces are primarily reserved for office users.
The building uses groundwater for temperature control instead of conventional air conditioning, dramatically reducing energy use. This unusual approach shows how modern office design can tap into local natural resources.
