The Paper Island Buildings
Modern architecture and a creative area
The newly constructed buildings on The Paper Island (Papirøen) sit centrally in Copenhagen’s harbour and form an important part of the area’s modern urban development.
The buildings are defined by their almost triangular shapes, large windows, light facades, and clean lines, which give the area an open and contemporary feel. Inside, they house offices, a hotel, and residential units, making The Paper Island a popular destination for locals, businesses, and creative projects. The combination of modern architecture, functional spaces, and a unique waterfront location makes the buildings a striking and recognisable feature of Copenhagen’s skyline, while reflecting the city’s focus on innovation and creativity.

The distinctive buildings are best viewed from the Inner Harbour Bridge or from the large wooden platform by the Royal Danish Playhouse. However, it is also recommended to walk along the newly built harbour promenade to experience the architecture from multiple angles.
