Elmegade 4

ØSA has been advisors on the interior of the bar. We have created a homely place that combines the simple and homely with a neoclassical decadence. Here, frescoes a la the Italian Renaissance have been recreated with a simple chalk line that draws grape motifs on the walls. The task was to transform a low-ceilinged and upholstered room into a clean and simple background for a home furniture. The building's mineral elements such as granite, brick and marble are highlighted. The walls have been cleaned of moldings and wood panels and are partly with new whitewash, partly with fields of the site's previous layers.

The Accordion 
The workshop (NO Verkstedet) , is named after the musical instrument, which in its dynamic form draws air in and out of its chambers filled with metal tongues that vibrate in the air currents. The workshop is designed by a varied pattern consisting of triangles, which in the same way as the instrument plays with different voltages of energy from open to closed. The energy spans between haze see extremes. The amplitude and wavelength of the triangle reflect the energies and scale of the room from the rough work in the smithy to the fine embroidery in the textile workshop.

Tornacense (latin; Tourist)
The project proposes a landmark for the contemporary with an ambivalent polarity. On the pictorial level, it looks like a spire added to the iconic Copenhagen skyline. On the other hand, it expresses a pessimism in a capitalist era.
The tower is a commentary on the collision of mass impulses,  and is both a project proposal and an imaginary project.

 The pavilion is constructed as a frame structure, lined with burnt wooden façades, treated with the Japanese burning technique shou-sugi-ban, a sustainable way of treating exterior facade coatings against fungi, rot, insect attack.
