The Building

Overlooking the city of Copenhagen, Rotor is envisaged as an urban apartment, which combines new media and technological effects with sensitive residential design. Employing extra sensorial elements like sound patterns and light pulsation, the space plays with a delicate balance between comfort and surprise

The Strategy

The functions within the Rotor pulsate around a central twirling media column. Each of the four programmatic pockets are organised along panoramic views into the city. The media column in the center incorporates various technological devices for entertainment, control, information and communication. By rotation, these different media services mould and blur the fixed program into a dynamic space continuum.
