Tidsmaskinen After-School Center by BBP Arkitekter Blends Old and New

BBP Arkitekter has completed the Tidsmaskinen (Time Machine) after-school activity center in Amager, Denmark, a 1,100 m² project that juxtaposes a 1918 villa with a new tower and greenhouse. The villa, originally built for the school director, is now complemented by a contemporary tower that references the site's architectural heritage while introducing a new typology. The garden design incorporates small hills into the otherwise flat landscape of Amager, encouraging outdoor play. Lead architect Ebbe Wæhrens oversaw the project, completed in 2021.
