Career

Many of the buildings that he constructed were built to his own design. These included Karl Johans gate 39 (1844), the first four-storey building in the city. He also designed the building at Kirkegata 6 (1856) and a residence for a bank manager with the city's first private WC.[2]

He was active is Association of Craftsmen in Copenhagen and became its first honorary member in 1886. He sat on several boards and commissions.

gollark: Seriously? That seems vaguely implausible. The Pi's SoC may be newer than... Core 2 Duos or something, but the A72 cores in it are *not* particularly new and as far as I know quite bad.
