Extreme makeover

The Rasmussen Group's HQ building, dating back to the 1960s, has retained its original exterior, but the interior has undergone an “extreme makeover.” The main entrance has been enlarged and opens up towards the street.

Harmony and contrast

On the upper floors, solid walls have been replaced with glass, and a long spatial element has been introduced to separate primary and secondary functions.

A new colour scheme and material palette were introduced to create harmony and contrast with the original oak panelling, and most of the furniture is custom-designed.
