Architect: Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects
Location: Dusager, Aarhus N, Denmark

The building is situated and oriented so as to accommodate the path of the sun, and set at an angle so that it provides sun shading - hence, energy efficiency is built into construction design. Three open horizontal plates are mutually displaced diagonally. With long lines of sight across the building and vertically up through the floors, the architecture creates visual transparency and facilitates contact between employees. Small meeting pods and coffee points act as breakout areas and as spaces for informal exchanges. These innovative channels of communication are further enhanced by the vertical atrium – an energy conductor for communication in-house.
