Wrapping concept, 3XN, Copenhagen, 2020

With a rich context of surrounding buildings on one side and the generous open space towards the Government Complex – a unique architectural gesture was required. This dynamic facade creates relief in the strict form through a stepped thermal façade beneath an outer glass skin that wraps the building in a triangular pattern.
Access points are introduced via a set of articulated tent-like openings in the outer skin on all four sides and on multiple floors. Thus, the facade opens up with an articulate transition between inside and outside. It provides for an active street level as well as allowing access outside platforms at every level.
