A team consisting of Christensen & Co. Architects, Primus Architects, STED and Oluf Jørgensen A/S have created the winning proposal for the new theatre in Danish city Odsherred.

Odsherred Theatre is a contemporary laboratory of culture and a local social hub for the entire city. In other words, a performance space for social interaction. We have specifically designed the theatre’s architecture as a cultural catalyst that actively engages with the local community. This includes a new urban space created at the main entrance, flowing out into the pedestrian street, central to the city. Here, an intimate urban square offers the local community access to a setting of urban furniture designed for leisure and play. The small street scene at Odsherred Theatre’s main entrance provides the ideal setting for small happenings and improvisations that intervene in the pedestrians’ everyday life.
