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.
The Danish Building and Property Agency has awarded the turnkey contract for the construction of a future government office hub in Odense. The building’s load-bearing construction will be built in timber and are designed by C.F. Møller Architects.
Based on the last and best offers from the three prequalified turnkey contractors, the Danish Building and Property Agency (BYGST) awarded the contract to NCC. Among other things, NCC’s offer describes good solutions for functionality and flexibility with respect for the interior design as well as for the technical installations which also benefit indoor climate and work environment. At the same time, the architecture considers the visions for the area, for example by inviting the public and future employees in the building to use the outdoor areas.
Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen is a heritage-listed complex designed by Danish architect Martin Nyrop. The hospital is currently the focus of a master plan development aiming to upgrade the hospital’s facilities to align with modern requirements. In anticipation of this Mikkelsen Architects have orchestrated this upgrade with a new intervention on the campus — ‘Lab Log’. The task of updating existing building stock is a topic that must be tackled given the environmental challenges we face, particularly when that stock holds cultural significance. As a result, the response used must be measured and contextually appropriate. At first, glance, factoring in the context of the site (namely the red brick) one may conclude that aligning a new intervention with a similar material may be appropriate. However, when looking at the challenges holistically, the use of prevalent construction materials and systems offers a more resilient, flexible and agile response, especially for a building that must operate as the hub of a modern healthcare institution heading into a long transition.
The new central office of the Carlsberg Group sets the framework for a modern and dy-namic workplace, with a building that supports identity, knowledge sharing, and innovation. This is emphasized with a large open atrium that binds the entire company together in one unified working community, integrated with the connecting the past with the future.
Carlsberg’s central office is located in Carlsberg’s historic area of Valby Bakke in Copenhagen and appears harmonious in its interaction with its surroundings. The challenge has been to adapt a larger, modern office building with precision and sensitivity in a historic, urban and scenic location and, at the same time, give the building the aesthetic quality that characterizes Carlsberg as a company.
Customized brickwork merge history and now in ADEPTs new mixed-use complex
The historic Carlsberg Brewery site in Copenhagen has opened to the public to become part of the city – and is now seriously embarking on the successful transformation to a dense urban neighbourhood of its own, the Carlsberg City. Transforming many of the preserved buildings, designed by some of the best European architects of the era, the new neighbourhood is at the same time a unique cultural-historical environment and an attractive modern district. New images by Rasmus Hjortshoj shows ADEPTs contribution to the area – Theodora House – shot in a corona-closed Copenhagen.

Villa Korup was designed for a young family of six on the Danish island of Fyn after a fire destroyed their previous home.
The characteristic ‘three legged’ plan was developed in order to delineate the different aspects of the landscape, accentuating their qualities and creating three characteristic courtyard like spaces; a sunny south facing sloped area to the south, a protected kitchen garden to the east and an orchard cum playground to the west.
At the new Visitor Centre Österild designed by CUBO, the architecture creates a unique setting for exploring the forces of nature, when giant turbines turn wind into green energy. Visitors can explore the world’s largest wind turbines placed on land and gain extensive knowledge about the wind turbine technology.
The centre is placed next to the Danish National Testing Centre where research and technology of the wind turbine industry is conducted in collaboration with DTU and other institutions, that research, develop and test prototype wind turbines and turbine technology.
Studio Viktor Sørless was commissioned to design a coastal summer home currently under construction in Denmark, called the Dune House. The project was made to be a one-off contemporary home on the edge of waterfront. Overlooking unobstructed views across the landscape, the project was designed for a film enthusiast to be a sustainable retreat inspired by Roman Polanski’s movie The Ghostwriter. “Most of the time client briefings ended up with film screenings,“ Viktor Sørless remembers, “In The Ghostwriter actually the building has the leading role setting the mood of the movie. That had an impact on him.“ With regard to sustainability, natural stone was used from the region. A green roof improves the summer heat insulation, while an integrated solar heat system is about to cover the water heating and heating supply.
Cars, pedestrians, wildlife all gain something from a new parking facility in Aalborg.
A parking facility is primarily a rational construction, designed for a very specific purpose. Yet, in Eastern Harbour of Aalborg, the third largest municipality in Denmark, Sangberg has created something more than a parking facility.
A unique family home situated outside Copenhagen, Denmark in a green, residential setting overlooking a golf course and a protected nature reserve. The house is built for a Danish/English family and combines Scandinavian simplicity and English brown bricks. The house is pulled back on the plot to provide privacy and maximize the view of the golf course. Oriented towards the sun, the house is centered around a large wooden terrace. The ground floor of the house is open-plan, combining the kitchen, dining area and lounge in one large space. This is connected to the outdoor wooden terrace with a large glass folding door that, when opened, makes the indoor and outdoor melt together.
