It’s hard to miss this preschool in my neighborhood – I’m temporarily working from Christianshavn, Copenhagen:
But I’m guessing most people don’t notice that this preschool has the same problem with elopement that is common in the U.S., and they have addressed it by adding another latch at a higher location (this wouldn’t be compliant with U.S. codes):
The preschool is on my street…this is my block:
The apartment building where I’m staying is 280 years old, and the front door has an old potbelly closer. Don’t worry, I have not seen any “rotter” at all! The closer does a great job of closing the door, but there is a high risk of being pushed out the door and down the stairs, or losing a finger.
Check out this cool house around the corner:
This is an interesting application:
And just a couple more of my neighbors’ doors…there’s a lot of door diversity here:
If you have travel plans this week, don’t forget to send me some photos!

Wow. Your apartment is older than the good ol’ US of A. That’s history. Now if only walls could talk.
I got a little history from the owner…my little apartment used to have 10 people living in it, and later there was one lady who lived in this apartment for 27 years!

Looks like a ramp at the left side (descending) alongside those steep stairs – possibly to roll bicycle tires down
Yes – EVERYONE uses bikes here! And the Metro…we are becoming pros! 🙂

The brickwork in the second to last photo is a true work of art. The radius edge on the corner, the angles and cutbacks, the concentric aches, the voussoir brick at the arches and radii. You just don’t see that craftsmanship nowadays.
I know! There is so much amazing brickwork here – I keep pointing it out to my daughter (21), who doesn’t seem quite as excited about it as we are! 😀
