Welcome to “The Citizens' House” 👏
In Høje-Taastrup, one of Denmark's most innovative and unique city halls has been inaugurated, setting the standard for the area's further development. The building was born out of a vision of developing modern, flexible work environments for employees, while at the same time giving back to the city and its citizens.
"It is with a great deal of pride that we now see how visions become reality as Høje-Taastrup's new city hall opens its doors. This is an incredibly innovative project characterized by high ambitions on behalf of the entire city. In close collaboration with all parties, we have created a beautiful signature building that is tailor-made to facilitate the meeting between citizens and municipality, the democratic processes, and urban life," says Søren Mølbak, CEO and partner at PLH Arkitekter.
Høje-Taastrup’s acting mayor, Kurt Scheelsbeck, sees great value in the new building:
"This city hall is a prominent landmark in our new district Høje-Taastrup C and at the same time a truly exciting building with lots of new possibilities for both employees and citizens. It is a citizens' house, where associations have opportunities like borrowing the council chamber or meeting rooms for events. It is a modern, flexible workplace where we can serve citizens and work in many different ways. And sustainability is at the forefront as seen in the reuse in the construction, solar cells on the roof and a sound operating economy going forward. We look forward to using the many facilities of the building."
The nine-floor building was designed in collaboration with ALL and COWI.
