client: International Business School Kolding, Denmark
completed: 2006
International Business College Kolding is to be extended with a new wing that is sympathetic to the character of the existing building. Thus, the lowest storey of the new building is in red brick, just like the original college building. By the same token, the uppermost horizontal strip of ribbon windows will be framed by a copper border that runs the full length of the façade, fastening on to the original building and thereby providing a vividly articulated connecting link. The building will form the setting for the creative teaching of foundation course students. The interior is clustered around a 3-storey high atrium with a mirror pond at the base and the skies above.

With its 27,000m2, its 1650 students and 300 staff, the Thor Heyerdahl College (THC) is one of the largest sixth form colleges in Norway. Aside from the rooms for service industry subjects, communications subjects, trades and general subjects, the school integrates an ultra-flexible sports arena. The new THC clusters the school’s various elements in a compact and vertically oriented building. The main structure comprises an open square plate that has deep, cut-out openings in it, which both create a dynamic and allow natural light to penetrate deep into the building.

For the international oriented Business Academy Aarhus, we have been assigned to design a new a welcoming lounge area for students and guests - offering various kinds of possibilities to sit, rest and study in a vibrant and inspiring international atmosphere. To solve this we chose to use our modular “Blackbox bench” system in combination with other furniture from our collection of side tables, café tables, chairs, high tables, bar stools and room deviding screens.
client: VIA University, Aarhus
completed: 2011
Our interior project for the new premises of VIA University College in Skejby, Aarhus (Denmark) is developed as a simple and natural extension of the building using the integrated color scale as guideline for the furnishing. The house itself is designed as a rather “rough” house. Few and simple, industrial materials are used to create a calm and clear frame for the more than 2000 students daily life - realising that this many different people and activities itself takes up considerable amount of space both visually and physically. All loose furniture are “casually” spread over the interior - each given colors after the overall color scale and in this way emphasizing the concept - providing the students with possibilities for either private/intimate or a more exposed seating.
