Teaching and entrepreneur start-up office facilities side by side – that's the philosophy behind the distinctive new Innovation building. The basic floor plan is a simple and flexible layout, for integration of numerous uses and adaptations. The dynamic green stairway leads to shared conferencerooms and a roof terrace with beautiful view of the Horsens Fjord. The stairs land in a different position on each level, thus activating the entire atrium as the central hub of the building.


Additional Info:

The Vitus Bering Innovation Park is one of the first office complexes in Denmark to be classified as low-energy class 1, which means that its energy efficiency is twice that of the minimum required by the Danish building regulations.


The building's dynamic and innovative character is expressed via its spiral shape. On the facades, the movement is seen in the glazing strips that stretch towards the sky across the six storeys of the building and create the impression of a spiral sequence, while internally it is expressed via the main staircase in green fibre cement, which runs in a spiral form between the storeys in the unifying internal atrium.
