Gallery K represents a renovation and new interior design of the former Cityarkaden, a shopping arcade in the heart of Copenhagen. The design is based on the classical shopping arcade of the 1900’s, with a glass roof that shields from the rain, but is otherwise exposed to wind and weather. Through carefully configured design and detailing rich in character, the architectural qualities of the area are significantly enhanced.
The building includes approximately 10,000 m² of retail space distributed on two levels and accommodates approximately 30 tenants. The project also includes underground parking and the renovation of 5 apartments.
The majority of the shops are configured as high-street retail venues with open, vibrant facades and displays that stimulate street activity. Mezzanines in the open, glass-covered atrium provide access to the upper level shops. The former street, “Citygade” has been reopened via a passageway connecting it to two main thoroughfares, and a new plaza and sidewalk café have been established at the main entrance.
