How do you translate the essence of a company’s brand into architecture and interior design? To answer this question, we’ve had a chat with PLH’s Creative Director Interiors Bine Soelberg about her work on the DFDS headquarters, following its win as Nohrcon’s “Office Building of the Year 2023”: “Throughout this entire project, we worked closely with DFDS, making sure that their culture, values and history informed every single decision we took along the way. From giving each floor a specific color palette and theme, to creating lighting that can suit every mood, and kitchenettes that offer new and exciting dining experiences. DFDS is a global, innovative, open-minded company, that puts customer satisfaction as well as employee wellbeing at the forefront, and our shared goal was to ensure that the design told that story,” says Bine, adding: “I think, the reason why this place works and so many people enjoy showing up here in the morning, is that we’ve managed to create a building full of surprises, attractive destinations and differentiated experiences. You don’t have endless rows of monotone corridors but constant variation, contrasts and environments that bring people together. It’s a human-centered design that feels stimulating, engaging and makes for a brand-new type of workday.” Read more about the DFDS headquarters at our website.

How can a single room support cohesion and knowledge-sharing across nine floors? At the center of the new Høje-Taastrup City Hall, you will find the building’s heart– a vast, unifying 37-meter-high atrium stretching from the bottom of the building to the ceiling. This way, all floors are visually connected, and from the workstations there is a clear view of the entire house. On each level, kitchenettes and cozy common areas are located near the elevators as well as the sculpture-like wooden staircase, supporting social interaction throughout the new city hall.

Illums Bolighus has moved into Lyngby Storcenter 👏 We are excited to once again leave our mark on a shopping center with the major renovation of @lyngbystorcenter, improving accessibility and making room for furniture retailer @illumsbolighus' second largest store spreading across three floors: "We are very happy to contribute to the continued development of Lyngby Storcenter with our great expertise in retail and center design. Illums Bolighus will be a major and central attraction, which is why we have worked, among other things, to create a natural integration with the rest of the center, as well as improving the customer experiences and infrastructure so that there is now a direct connection from the parking garages to the center and Illums Bolighus," says Jesper Fogd Spager, senior project manager at PLH Arkitekter. The project is the first in a series of modernizations of the center.

Look around your workplace – which colors do you see and what do they represent? Working with life science company Sivantos, known as one of the world’s biggest players within the hearing aid industry, we translated their corporate identity into a workplace design for their Singapore headquarters. The office was divided into four different hubs, each featuring meeting rooms, a place to eat, a space to relax or work with colleagues and facilities to take or make private calls. Each hub was represented by a color based on the company’s visual identity combined with a design that symbolizes a unique experience with sound. The blue color was used in the reception area to reflect Sivantos’ brand colors, inviting visitors into the company headquarters. The greenery featured in the nature-hub took its inspiration from Singapore’s beautiful green landscape; the small city-hub was inspired by the metropole’s nighttime landscape – featuring neon lights and a warm color scheme; The orange celebration-hub represented festivities and life’s occasions. Having different hubs within the building gives employees the opportunity to work where best suits them – this concept of a flexible working environment creates the best opportunities for collaboration, creativity and innovation to prosper. After a merger in 2019, Sivantos is now known as WS Audiology.

Can you hear workplace design? When we designed Sivantos’ headquarters in Singapore, we wanted to showcase how sound was the focal point the organization. Inspired by sound waves, we installed sculptural ‘sound wall’ in the building’s reception area, greeting anyone visiting. Sivantos has been a key player in the global hearing aid industry. After a merger, the life science company is now known as WS Audiology. The headquarters’ design was conceived around the concept "Connected by Sound", drawing on two themes – "Sound unites us” and “Sound as a celebration of global diversity", making the workplace a physical manifestation of the experience and connective potential of sound. Aiming to boost research & development, production and administration, the office layout supports collaboration, encourages creativity and fosters knowledge sharing amongst employees.
