Architecture

The chamfered corner bay was dictated for all corner buildings by Jørgen Henrich Rawert's and Peter Meyn's guidelines for the rebuilding of the city after the fire so that the fire department's long ladder companies could navigate the streets more easily. A side wing extends from the rear side of the Naboløs wing along the south side of a small central courtyard. The dressed facade is finished with a belt course and a cornice. The main entrance in Naboløs is topped by a transom window with a wooden cartouche. The red tile roof features six dormer windows towards the street and four towards the yard. The roof ridge is pierced by two chimneys. The side wing has a monopitched mansard roof.

Today
The building contains two shops on the ground floor, one shop in the basement and eight condominiums (E/F Naboløs 1) on the upper floors.
