At the beginning of 2018, Cobe is moving to Copenhagen's Nordhavn (North Harbour). Cobe has nearly doubled in size the past few years, and will double its office space in Nordhavn to more than 2.400 m² – while becoming part of their own masterplan.
Dan Stubbergaard, Founder and Creative Director of Cobe, says: “We are looking forward to becoming part of Nordhavn – the sustainable city of the future. Living in Nordhavn will be a unique 1:1 showcase for Cobe and our projects which, besides the masterplan, include The Silo, completed earlier this year, and future projects such as Kronløb Island including 25.000 m² housing, the office building at the tip of Redmolen and two metro stations opening in 2020.”
