Danish Embassy in Berlin
The heart of the Danish Embassy is a tall lobby which divides the building into two parts: on one side an undulating, wood-clad wall and on the other a ’stairway to the sky’. This is the fundamental idea upon which the building becomes capable of exuding the dignity required in an embassy while, at the same time, being a place filled with light and life and reflecting the Danish spirit – the very qualities which make this building an exciting and beautiful workplace. The external boundaries of the embassy were defined by an earlier competition on the overall embassy complex. Winners were two Austrian-Finnish architects, Berger and Parkkinen, who used a gently undulating copper band to unite the five Nordic embassies of Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark into a pan-Nordic Centre.
