New Denmark architecture projects with building news and architectural images, plus Danish architects background. Danish building news from across this Scandinavian country, Northern Europe.
Major works to visit include the Nature Themed Daycare Center, Sønderborg, Jutland, by ZENI arkitekter a/s. In recent years, there has been a tendency to concentrate daycare facilities in fewer and larger daycare centers. This is obviously done to be more efficient, but also to be able to offer a wider range of facilities.
We also post details about the Maritime Center, Esbjerg, Southern Jutland, by WERK Arkitekter and Snøhetta. It opened in the seaport town Esbjerg on the Danish west coast, a new Maritime Center. The facility was developed by WERK Arkitekter and Snøhetta following a design competition in 2019. The center is created as a shared space for watersport clubs and visitors along the port. It provides the town with a social maritime hub and architectural landmark.
Finally, we feature The Sergeant, Sønderborg, Jutland, again by ZENI arkitekter. Sergenten is a former army garage and drill hall has been revitalized as a modern concert and event space, with state-of-the-art kitchen facilities.
