The building was constructed in 1937 to a design by
Kristoffer Varming and was then known as Gammelholms Toldkammer. The southern part of the building was used as a custom house for goods to and from Sweden. The northern part of the building contained the waiting room, kiosk and ticket office of the Øresund Ferries. Vikingebådene, Centrumlinien and DSØ later used the building. The latter was a partnership between DSB and SJ. The last ferry departed on 30 April 2002, and the company later moved its administration to
Amerikakaj. The building was acquired by
Terence Conran and converted into a restaurant complex in 2005. It contained the Japanese restaurant Ebisu, Italian restaurant Bachio and Custom House Bar & Grill. It closed in 2014. The Standard was opened by a group of investors consisting of
Claus Meyer,
Niels Lan Doky,
Torsten Vildgaard, Søren Westh and Karam Sethi. The complex was redesigned with the assistance of GamFratesi and Christina Meyer Bengtsson & Ulrik Nordentoft. Verandah, a high-end Indian restaurant, closed in September 2016. ==Restaurants==
