Henning Larsen Architects and a team consisting of Signal Architects and SLA Landscape Architects have won the competition for Nordea’s new office building of 40,000 m2 in ?restad North, Copenhagen, next to the premises of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation and the Concert Hall – Koncerthuset. The building will comprise Scandinavia’s largest trading floor of 5,500 m2 with a view of the green area of Amager F?lled.
The new building introduces a new medium scale in ?restad – a street level connecting the large buildings of the district and the characteristic landscape of Amager F?lled. To the south, the building is characterised by a sophisticated, sloping park landscape and to the north by an open ground floor and tile facades on the lower floors.
“Nordea’s new building interacts with the city, opens up and invites for activity at different levels. It will be a place in the city that offers activity inside as well as outside”, explains Design Director Louis Becker, Henning Larsen Architects.
