Samklang is our proposal for the new townhall of Rødovre. The building will provide space for the growing administration of the Danish municipality, already hosted in the beautifull postwar building of Arne Jacobsen next to it.
Connections and flows
Activities and program
Nature and biodiversity
A new landmark
Respectful of Jacobsen´s heritage, the new town hall answers the need of the public administration for being transparent. Indeed, the building opens to the city: the public program moves from the ground floor along the whole main façade, visible from the green areas in front that link the new and the old townhalls. The building shows its extrovert character in front, becoming the new living room of Rødovre.
