Kromann Reumert appointed schmidt hammer lassen design to carry out the thorough renovation and new refurbishing of their headquarters on the Rådhuspladsen in Aarhus. The building is designed by Salling Mortensen around 1914 and creates an impressing yet simple composition around the city square together with the city hall designed by Arne Jacobsen, which is located at the other side of the square. As any modern company in growth, the physical frames became too narrow and obsolescent for the company. The solution to these problems was an enlargement of the available space; more m2 were added. The offices were renovated and turned into modern, representative and functional surroundings for Kromann Reumers and their clients.

The new Kromann Reumert headquarters is a highly distinctive and thoroughly resolved office building whose furnishings and fixtures, as regards both design and materials, maintain a continuity with the elegant idiom and character of the building itself. The interior design project encompasses both design and the selection of furnishings and fittings for the building’s various functional areas. The fixed furnishings include the design of countertops, furniture for sitting and waiting areas, canteen and café furniture, library shelving, cloakrooms, storage furniture for meeting rooms, outdoor lighting fixtures and outdoor seating.

LETT Laywers chose in 2005 to move from an outdated office-space to a modern domicile, a choice which met the company’s wish of working in an open office space. The choice fell on a floor in a modern and recently completed high rise building in the heart of Aarhus.

When cfl (center for management) contacted schmidt hammer lassen design, the had been struggeling with the functionality of their reception area in combination with a changing organisation and new ways of working. The space had simply become too crowded and challenging to use and approach as both employee and as a visitor. They needed to update the funtions, to adapt to changed ways of using the space and to send out a clear message; the space is here to be used!

After only two years in their new domicile in a modern highrise building i Aarhus, LETT needed more space and hade to move to a new location. A new building under construction at the City Hall Square in Aarhus was chosen and the challenge for the interior and design project was to integrate the entire organisation split up on 3 flores without loosing the feeling of beeing one united company. An important issue was to place the main entrance, reception, lounge, meeting and canteen area at one and same level. In this way every employee and guest would pass by the reception on the way in and out and at the same time everyone would during the day benefit from the location on the top floor.
client: Danfoss, Nordborg, Denmark

As schmidt hammer lassen architects in 2002 got the task of renovating, refurbishing and extend the existing domicile of Danfoss in Nordborg on Als, schmidt hammer lassen design was quickly involved with the project. This developed into an intense collaboration, in which all details were treated with the same care and attention.
client: NRGi, Aarhus, Denmark
completed: 2005
When NRGi decided to leave their old domicile and selected schmidt hammer lassen for the design and construction of their new, modern headquarters, they chose schmidt hammer lassen design to carry out the entire interior and design program for the building. They too decided on moving from primary single cell-offices to a largely open-office structure. Some administrative functions and particular departments are still located in smaller, secluded areas because of the discretion requested by meetings and by particular tasks. The new headquarters of NRGi is an energy optimized house, with energy saving initiatives built into the technical control systems of the house and into the design and structure of the building itself.
client: Formuepleje, Aarhus, Denmark
completed: 2005
The company Formuepleje wished to move from a classical building into a floor of the modern and newly built `KPMG-house´ in the center of Århus. Formuepleje preferred avoiding meetings with the clients in the meeting- and conference-facilities high up in the tall building, this being the reason why the design of the interior turned into a mix of cell-offices and open offices, also providing space enough for client-meetings. In one end of the 50-meter long space, a row of offices along the facade was established. All partition walls are made of clear glass to maintain maximum contact between the smaller offices and the open office space.

completed: 2009
For the extension of Kromann Reumerts office in Copenhagen, we created a new interior office, meeting and lounge space with focus on making a functional yet intimate and cozy atmosphere. The extension of Kromann Reumerts head quarter in Copenhagen is situated in the neighbour building and connected to the original head quarter building by a new walkway hanging between the facades. Because of the physical distance it was of great importance to create a visible and “professional emotional” connection and at the same time respect the fact that the new space is created in another time and place.
client: KPMG
completed: 2004
As part of Bruun’s Galleri, the KMPG head office is linked in a synergistic relationship with central Århus. The 17-storey office tower affords an outstanding view of the city, the bay and the landscape - and to enable all to take optimal advantage of the location, the primary communal functions are situated on the uppermost levels. Via an open double height stairwell, the reception on the 15th floor provides access to the restaurant on the floor below. A mobile wall allows the restaurant to be screened off so as to double as a conference room for approx. 100 persons.
client: Fredericia Municipality
completed: 2006
The beautiful city hall of Fredericia is designed by Haldor Gunløgsson and Jørn Nielsen (inaugu-rated 1965). It faced a large renovation as it in 2005 was decided to collaborate with schmidt hammer lassen on this project. Over time, the town hall had been through several alterations, and alltogether they comasked and blurred the consequent and conceptual architectural language of the building. Our task was set upon creating a total master plan for the renovation project and to rebuild and re-design the new Citizens Service, which is placed in the hall right beside the entrance.
client: Interlex Advokater, Aarhus, Denmark
schmidt hammer lassen design has created a new space and interior design for the Aarhus based lawfirm Interlex Advokater. The project includes a new design for the exterior entrance area/facade and the interior of the reception area including new room structure, surfaces, reception desk, lighting and lounge furnishing. The former arrival, -reception and waiting area had become far to small and no longer suitable for Interlex´needs in a busy every day life. The solution was a new exterior facade/entrance and indoor to integrate a former meeting room as a part of a new and spacious room with possibility for both work, passage, wardrobe and waiting facilities.
The space is furnished with a custom made reception counter in Cameo White Corian and beside this with our own furniture design from Piiroinen (Flakes Lounge and table), JENSENplus (Blackbox bench and side tables)
client: Danfoss
completed: 2010
The renovation of Danfoss headquarters at Als covers 2900 m2 renovation of office area to a meeting centre with lounge, meeting room, restaurant and a new extension with kitchen. The project description was to join meeting and conference facilities at ground level directly related to the main entrance and reception building.
Transparency and light characterize the interior by a number of special objects that define the different areas of the meeting centre.
A 20 m long, green wall is a key element to show the guests lounge area in its whole. The wall is planted with a smooth, fine and vibrant green surface. An eye catcher in form of a 1.6 meter high water sculpture is placed in the heart of the building and is surrounded by mirroring water walls. A great balance of noble materials, art and unique design solution.
