Bryggen (“The Wharf”) in Vejle, Denmark

March 01, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

The Bryggen (“The Wharf”) designed by schmidt hammer lassen is located in Vejle, Denmark. Two of Denmark’s biggest architects, 3XN and Schmidt Hammer Lassen have colluded on a radical retail project in Vejle, Denmark. Bryggen (“The Wharf”) is a 33,000 square metre building which opened this week following three years of construction.

Perforations in the outer walls of the building allow light to filter in during the day and out during the night. 80 cafe’s, shops and restaurants are held in the premises with space being made available in better weathers for better ‘interaction with the river and the pedestrian street beyond’.
