Inspired by 21st century learning principles, the new Aarhus School of Architecture was designed as an incubator for architectural experiments, workshop-based learning and unplanned synergies between students. The architecture is raw, almost resembling an industrial building, but only at first glance – the refined detailing and strong spatial organization deliberately communicates how a building is constructed; how to refine a design through a few carefully selected materials and how to allow architecture to step into the background as a flexible framework for activity.
At Mindet 6, close to the Port of Aarhus, a bright, sculptural tower and landmark will combine city life and cultural history with attractive new cultural and business facilities, together with public restaurants.
The starting point for the tower is an existing historical industrial complex, with its legacy of the port’s industry and culture in former times. The impressive building structure will be preserved and supplemented with a new tower. The tower will be integrated into the existing complex, from which its basic geometry will be derived. The historical qualities of the existing building will continue to be apparent, and will also gain new life from being opened up towards the surroundings, to create attractive outdoor and indoor relations. On the roof of the old building, a new, publicly-accessible green rooftop garden environment will be established, and will include a restaurant, orangery and kitchen gardens.

In cooperation with the City of Aarhus, DSB, MT Højgaard and CF Møller Architects are preparing the realization of the vision Banquarter. A new, car-free city in Aarhus, which develops the area and connects the surrounding neighborhoods with a cover of the railway bridge from Bruuns Bridge to Frederiks Bro.
A completely new, car-free city in Aarhus will be created. The railroad tracks, which extend from Bruun Bridge to Frederiks Bro, must be covered. The area will house 110,000 m² of construction, which will establish a new, central urban environment in Aarhus C, leaning on the curry structure in nearby Frederiksbjerg, which gives a special opportunity to connect the city center in a new and exciting way.
“At this moment, there is a historic opportunity to realize the vision of connecting the center of Aarhus even better and starting a unique district that will complete the urban development that Aarhus is undergoing,” says Michael Kruse, partner and architect at CF Møller Architects, about the project .
“With the Banquarter, we want to create a visionary urban renewal that realizes a sustainable, green, vibrant and car-free neighborhood with a vibrant retail environment and a diverse housing environment. Here we will create attractive and unique urban spaces with international format, say Michael Kruse.

Bestseller is a world-wide fashion group with shops in over 70 countries, featuring well-known brands such as Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, Only, Pieces and several others.
The new office complex for about 800 employees is therefore intended as a showroom for Bestseller’s design-driven corporate identity, and resembles a varied flotilla of buildings at different levels, which are connected by a series of outdoor spaces like atria, courtyards, terraces and roof gardens.
The mixture of office buildings and outdoor spaces creates the impression that this is a town within a town. The complex, surrounded by canals and lakes on all four sides, forms the entrance to the new, urban district on the waterfront in Aarhus, Denmark.

WE Architecture, together with JWH Arkitekter and By Munch, have won a competition to design a new allergy-friendly row-house complex in Skødstrup, north of Aarhus.

The idea is to have a green suburban plantation where the landscape and overviews are emphasized by low rise housing units of (mainly) 2 storeys.
