TAP1
TAP1 is located in the Carlsberg District, a new suburb, that is an extension of Vesterbro. Right here Carlsberg was brewing their world-famous beer for 160 years. The area is at the present undergoing a transition from an industrial cluster into an environmentally friendly suburb with residential housing, businesses and many young and creative organisations and institutions.
Carlsberg District, located less than two kilometres from Copenhagen City Hall Square, has more than 1500 parking spaces, smooth access with public transportation as well as for heavy vehicles via the freeway. This makes the area an attractive location for customers and also provides ample space for productions of a large scale.
A historic place
J.C. Jakobsen’s life’s work is revitalised when CPH kids move in February. On the border between Vesterbro and Valby, an all-new creative neighbourhood is emerging.
For about 160 years, Carlsberg’s beer production has been located in this attractive area, but now the last beer has been bottled and the site has been opened to the public as an environmentally friendly neighbourhood.
The surroundings are characterised by their industrial origins, and the modern houses contrast sharply with the old gardens and preservation-worthy buildings. This singular combination of old and new creates an organic link between a part of Denmark’s industrial history and the modern city life.
TAP1 is located in the heart of this new part of town and it will play a prominent role in defining the profile of this new neighbourhood. For years to come, this place will offer everything from flea markets to big concerts and, not least, the kids’ fashion fair CPH kids.
The halls are named after their former function in the brewery, and this was the place where the beer was bottled from large vats.
