8tallet KPH

            Attan, or 8tallet in Danish, is a large mixed-use building built in the shape of a figure 8 on the southern side of the suburb of Örestad in Copenhagen, designed by Bjarke Ingels.[1] Winner in the World Architecture Festival 2011.[2] The arc-shaped building has an area of 61,000 square meters of three different types of residential buildings and 10,000 square meters of retail space and offices. It is the largest private construction ever (2022) carried out in Denmark. Commissioned by Store Frederikslund Holding, Høpfner A/S and Danish Oil Company A/S in 2006, it is Ingel's third residential project in Örestad, after the VM houses and the Berget building.[3] ·

History
Referring to his second example of "architectural alchemy", Bjarke Ingels explains his idea with "that by mixing traditional local types, retail, townhouses and apartments in non-traditional ways, you create added value, although not gold."[4] This is achieved by stack the different parts of a neighborhood in layers. They are connected by a pedestrian walkway and cycle path reaching up to the 10th floor, allowing businesses and residences to coexist.[3]

Thomas Christoffersen, BIG's partner responsible for the project, described the approach in more detail:

The apartments are located at the top while the commercial program is at the base of the building. As a result, the different horizontal layers have achieved a quality of their own: the apartments benefit from the view, sunlight and fresh air, while the office spaces merge with the life on the street. This is emphasized by the shape of the Eight which is literally lifted up in the north-east corner and pushed down in the south-west corner, allowing light and air into the south-facing courtyard.[3]
The scheme was based on the type of a perimeter block but pressed in the center to form a rosette shape with two courtyards. In the middle is a 10 meter wide passage that connects the surrounding parts, the park area to the west and the canal area to the east.[5] The retail and business area at the base consists of a café, a daycare center and offices, while the residential area with houses, apartments and penthouses is located above. The closing 10-storey building offers a view of Kalvebod Faelled's fields and marshes to the south. The unusual ramp that winds around the complex is designed to promote a sense of community and encourage interaction between neighbors.[6][7]
