The Trafic parquet collection: a new language for spaces
Designers Marc and Paola Sadler draw on now-extinct urban scenarios to create an original and versatile product for Listone Giordano.
– The new headquarters for KIRK KAPITAL A/S, designed by Olafur Eliasson
– A new island, Harbour Island, with twelve buildings for housing and commercial use
– A new marina by Vejle Municipality
The masterplan proposal for Harbour Island in Vejle has been developed in a collaboration between Studio Olafur Eliasson, Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter and Vogt Landscape Architects, based on plans conceived by Vejle Municipality to create an active connection between the city centre of Vejle and Vejle Fjord.
The new KIRK KAPITAL A/S headquarters are placed in the marina just south of Harbour Island. The building will contain a publicly accessible ground floor with a café and an exhibition space, as well as commercial leases and the headquarters for KIRK KAPITAL A/S on the upper floors. Expected completion date: 2016.
"The expansion of the area offers unique possibilities to create a different urban space with recreational spaces, commerce and culture, says CEO Bjarne Ammitzbøll, KIRK KAPITAL A/S. "We contacted Olafur Eliasson because he works with space and the relationship between buildings, cityscape and users. We are convinced that the building is going to be an architectural landmark in both a Danish and international context and will contribute positively to the development in the area."
To me designing a house is like conceiving an exhibition. Olafur Eliasson
