Henning Larsens Tegnestue - New Carlsberg Glyptotek

Selected Danish Projects

Henning Larsens Tegnestue
New Carlsberg Glyptotek
Annex in the Conservator Courtyard 1994 -1996

The Glyptotek was built to house two exceptional collections left to the Danish public by brewer Carl Jacobsen. The present building complex was built in two stages; the oldest part from 1892-97 was designed by architect Wilhelm Dahlerup, the area in the rear was designed by architect Hack Kampmann and built in 1901-1906. The annex, which increases the the museum floor area by 2.500 square meter, is located in the Conservator Courtyard as an independent building, or more as a "coffer" in the store box created by the courtyard. Only a minimum of alterations were required in the existing buildings and the annex clearly appears as a more recent addition - a "building within a building".

Between the existing Conservator Courtyard walls and the new building is a glass roofed stairway street, which with a spiral movement, leads up through the three stories towards the light and the roof terrace above.The "coffer" has a glossy marble stucco surface. The existing courtyard facades facing thee stairway street have a thin layer of stucco.
