Johan Martin Quist

Johan Martin Quist or Qvist (3 September 1755 – 25 April 1818) was a Danish architect who made a significant contribution to the city of Copenhagen.

Together with those of Andreas Hallander, his classically styled buildings form part of the legacy of 19th-century Danish Golden Age architects who reconstructed areas of the old town which had been destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.

Completed in 1797 for the well-to-do merchant, Frederik Ludolf Gustmeyer (1752–1804), it is one of Copenhagen's first bourgeois residences with free-standing columns.

He and his fellow builders formed a close-knit group, reinforced by their membership of the civil guard and fire corps.

Two years later he built an even more effective corner house at 47 Vimmelskaftet where both facades boasted pilasters on three floors.
