\"We have been very pleased that they have immediately captured the essence of our new organisation,<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

even though we are in the process of not only relocating, but also going through a merger and establishing a new company culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been a great responsiveness and ability to understand who we are and how the new house will be used. KHR has managed to understand what visual expression will match us, even though our new visual identity was not ready at the time of choosing the design and fixtures. Mai and the team chose an appealing Nordic look, and not much has changed. It's definitely a result of listening to who we are.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

User research as a foundation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"We are merging three organisations with different work cultures, and the project team felt that there was a need to consult people, even though time was short. KHR helped us to quickly create a survey that all employees could participate in. The survey and subsequent workshops have given us the foundation for the reorganisation process we're currently undergoing. It has been really good, .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to planning the 10,600 square metres based on a questionnaire survey and workshops, KHR Architecture helped select both loose and fixed furniture and prepared the tender documents for the purchase of the furniture. All as part of a more comprehensive tenant counselling by EIFO. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KHR Architecture provides architectural services in all phases and has in recent years strengthened its competences in building consultancy<\/a>, user surveys <\/a>and space planning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

An interior design that supports the work culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"EIFO contacted us to help them plan and design their new office. The merger of the three organisations meant that it made extra sense to first clarify what needs the new office should meet. We therefore started with a questionnaire survey followed by workshops with different user groups, which gave us valuable insights for the further process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A concrete output of the user process was that we realised that \"holding meetings\" involves a number of different collaboration situations where a classic meeting room is not necessarily the best setting. Corona has also led to an increased need to be able to hold online meetings and conference calls without disturbing the colleagues sitting around them. This has resulted in a layout with meeting rooms and meeting zones that meets both the specific needs and the work culture you want to support and promote. It also has the added benefit of better utilisation of square metres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation of EU tenders for EIFO's furniture procurement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EIFO is the result of a merger of EKF Denmark's Export Credit Agency, the Danish Growth Fund and Denmark's Green Investment Fund. The new organisation consists of approximately 450 employees, who will move into Orient House<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orienthuset consists of six floors and a basement, with EIFO moving into four of the floors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KHR has created a comprehensive material outlining the layout of the space and furniture. Currently, the tender process for the delivery of furniture is in EU tenders<\/a> with a deadline of 16 May so that the rooms can be furnished during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to managing the workplace design of the new headquarters, KHR is also the advisor for EIFO <\/a>in relation to the new premises and the process of moving the 450 employees from three locations to one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
