The cogs of creativity have been turning at Studio Olafur Eliasson, for a new project which is to grace the waterways around the Danish city of Vejle.
The Studio has been working in partnership with Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter and Vogt Landscape Architects, on a plan for the new headquarters for KIRK KAPITAL A/S. The new development will be part of Vejle's Harbour Island which acts as a connection between the centre of Vejle and the Vejle Fjord.
The KIRK KAPITCAL A/S headquarters will contain a ground floor cafe and exhibition space which will be open to the public, as well as commercial leases on the upper floors.
The building is not expected to be completed until 2016, but fans of Olafur Eliasson and the residents of Vejle will no doubt eagerly await its arrival.
Eliasson has been quoted about the project as saying: "To me designing a house is like conceiving an exhibition. In a museum my work not only involves the placement of the artworks. It also includes taking the surrounding spaces - with which the artworks converse - into consideration."
