AB6 - Multi-tennant Ofice Complex

At Amager Boulevard no. 6 the last available site in Central Copenhagen's new Tøjhus area, Dissing+Weitling has designed a six-storey multi-flexible office complex.

As one of the first in Denmark, the building utilises an interactive, double-skin facade providing efficient temperature control while allowing maximum daylight - which will considerably reduce energy consumption in the complex. The facade will also afford those working in the offices unique acoustic protection against traffic noise from busy Amager Boulevard.
The facade solution will add a transparent, aesthetic quality to the building, its combination of glass and natural stone visually linking and bringing together the large glass buildings and the brick facades of the older, residential complexes on either side of it.
The new office complex is in the basic shape of a cube with deep indents inviting light and open, outdoor spaces far into the building in the form of atria, patios and courtyards. It has been designed with an emphasis both on creating soft transitions between exterior and interior, activity and recreation and on affording individual lessees optimum flexibility.
