The new Royal Danish Playhouse is an effective theatre-machine
that takes form as a pronounced, yet respectful completion of the
surrounding city.
The building consists of three compositional elements:
The oak-clad promenade, a public walk floating on thin columns over
the water, gives access to the foyer with its panoramic views of the
harbour and historic skyline.
The scene building, containing the auditorium and three scenes, echoes
the material character of the harbour front with rustic brickwork
and copper-clad tower.
The expansive and unifying roof level contains personnel facilities
and gives spectacular views in all directions through varying nuances
of green glass.
The dark, elongated brick used throughout the building is, like the
red chairs of the auditorium, specially designed and developed for
playhouse by the office.
