The Tip of Nordø Building: An Architectural Beacon on Copenhagen’s Skyline

Copenhagen’s skyline welcomes a new star in its architectural roster; the Tip of Nordø stands out with its unique glass cylinder rising 60 meters above Nordhavn Harbor, resembling a modern lighthouse that blends elegance with simplicity.

A Distinguished Architectural Collaboration

What makes this project exceptional is not just its design, but the collaboration between three of Denmark’s most prominent architectural firms: Cobe, Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects, and Third Nature.This partnership allowed for the integration of diverse expertise into a single vision that highlights the balance between architectural beauty and urban functionality.

Project Completion and Recognition

The building was completed in 2024, quickly becoming one of the city’s standout architectural landmarks.In the same year, it received the Copenhagen Building Award, in recognition of what the jury described as exceptional architectural quality and a model example in modern building design.
