Fra højre: Arkitekterne og partnerne Mikkel Frost, Carsten Primdal og Kolja Nielsen Portrait: CEBRA holds a central and dominant position among the new wave of young, successful Danish architects. During their seven years in the industry, CEBRA has realized a wide range of concrete building projects and has won a number of architecture competitions, including the Golden Lion at the 2006 International Architecture Biennale in Venice and was nominated for a Mies van der Rohe prize for the architectural shaping of Bakkegårdsskolen in Gentofte. CEBRA does not try to lay the same defined design style or artistic signature over every single project. Each building tells its own story and has its own identity that CEBRA uses as a starting point by involving the building’s users and the physical potential of the site. ”We do not try to compete with the classic Danish architecture firms to make discrete, monumental creations. Our goal is not moderation, but instead a noticeable presence which shows that architects can achieve so much more than just create beautiful buildings. We dare to challenge the world in which we build buildings”, says Mikkel Frost, CEBRA partner. Nykredit Architecture Prize
