Architecture

Nyhavn 5 is constructed with four storeys over a walk-out basement. The five-bays wide facade is plastered and painted in a light blue colour. It is finished with a white-painted sill course below the first-floor windows, a through-going white sill course below the three central windows of the second floor and a white painted modillioned cornice. The main entrance is located in the bay furthest to the east. The pitched red tile roof features three dormer windows towards the street. A side wing with the building's secondary staircase extends from the rear side of the building along the east side of the asymmetrically shaped courtyard and is again attached to a three-storey rear wing. The rear wing and the upper floors of the front wing are towards the yard constructed with timber framing, whereas the side wing is constructed in brick. All three wings are towards the yard painted iron vitriol yellow.
