The Wave in Vejle Fjord, Denmark

March 15, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

The Wave that located in Vejle Fjord, Denmark, was designed by Henning Larsen Architects. With its five characteristic wave crests, the Wave in Vejle appears as a sculptural icon both respecting and challenging its location by the bay. ‘The Wave demonstrates how Danish architects are responding to global trends without sacrificing the practicality or well-crafted detailing that have long been a signature of the Danes’.

Last year, the Wave in Vejle won an international LEAF Award. In 2009, the building was selected as the residential building of the year by the Danish trade magazine Byggeri and, in 2010, it won the local Vejle award.
