Bold and curvaceous

Metropolis stands as a landmark in Copenhagen’s Sluseholmen district, with its futuristic design and curved GRC facade. This bold architectural statement redefines urban waterfront living with a design inspired by the ocean.

‍

Rising 45 meters, the 11-story Metropolis building is a landmark of modern design. Conceived by Future Systems and Danielsen Architecture, the building features three linked towers clad in 4,000 m² of GRC. The facade’s curved, wavy shapes are achieved using formable GRC, with marble powder aggregates for a shimmering blue finish.

Mounted with stud-frames and embedded inserts, the GRC panels create a seemingly seamless look, naturally evolving over time with a patina that reflects Copenhagen’s weather.
