Completed Aug 1998
Bang & Olufsen Headquarters
Bang & Olufsen's main building in Struer is anchored in the landscape,
where the design and production company has its identity. The building
was inaugurated in 1998 and is to be experienced as a large showroom for
Bang & Olufsen's company culture and production.

The building evokes associations of Bang & Olufsen's products in continuous
variations between lightness and heaviness, supporting and bearing, translucent
and transparent. The interior is experienced in relation to the surrounding
landscape, reflected by the sky light in a physical spatial juxtaposition
which unites exterior and interior visually. The framework of a dynamic
working environment which breaks down the hierarchic room division with
a deliberate choice of not having interior walls and doors. Spatial experiences
are with changing directions and variation among the materials.

The aimed at dynamics, which manifests itself in the openness and visual
accessibility of the building, initiate a conscious decision regarding
the users' needs for individual private spheres in spatial intimacies.
This is expressed in the spatial formation, the detailed elaboration of
the facades together with the sculptural heaviness, which is brought forward
by the design of the furniture.
