Karen Blixens Square

out-sider has delivered a tailored version of the Point Sun light (Point Uplight) for a beautifully designed bicycle parking facility located at Karen Blixens Plads, Copenhagen University. The university’s bicycle parking accommodates 2100 bikes, discreetly concealed under small hills, preserving the urban landscape entirely. These artificially shaped hills serve a dual purpose: making the bicycles less conspicuous in the cityscape while also providing additional seating for the students. Karen Blixen’s prestigious project is funded by the A.P. Møller Foundation and designed by COBE, one of Denmark’s leading architectural firms. The project has garnered multiple awards, including the 2020 Dezeen Award for the Best Landscape Project—an example of how design and functionality can seamlessly intertwine. Get inspired!
