"We want to emphasise the importance of architecture in everyday life and clarify the intentions behind our architecture - in this place where the artists who populate the building are the biggest part of the experience of the place."

"Ombygningen foregik som en udhuling af de eksisterende bygniger langs Holmens kanal frem til Holbergsgade. Det smukke facadeudsnit ud mod Holmens Kanal penetrerer de gamle facader og opleves alene i den historiske skal, som et vidne over projektets eksistens som værende et stort kulturelt værkstedsrum imellem Tordenskjoldsgade og Holmens Kanal."

The architecture with focus on the physical elements, where volume, spatiality, materiality and building details create the appearance of the architecture
The extension has skylights and double-height spaces, and these "spaces" capture the light so that the established rest and lounge areas are usable and inviting for meetings, training and breaks.
The physical character of architecture sets the scene for the people who use it and the atmospheres that arise when the space is occupied and used.
