The democratic square
The square of the Danish Parliament has always been the centre of practicality and activity. Historically, it has connected the palace to the harbour and the surrounding city. This public, active, and vibrant everyday space clearly represents the open and equal Danish democracy, where politicians, civil servants, citizens, visitors, employees and passers-by meet each other at eye level.

One Parliament
Our ambition is to make the organisation and architectural design a natural extension of the existing framework of the Danish Parliament. The Parliament square is the nerve centre of our proposal and around it, the parliament is tied together.

An inviting building
In our proposal, The Art Chamber Building and the corridor buildings ’open up’ functionally and experientially towards the square, contributing to a vibrant and attractive parliament plaza that naturally, both in terms of functionality and building preservation, incorporates the arrival of both the new visitor area and the new framework for the Danish Parliament.

The Commitee Rooms
The committee rooms are simply designed rooms providing a light and calm setting for parliamentary work. The flexible meeting set-up is placed in the centre of the room, and along the sides of the room is a defined zone for the audience with integrated seating and direct access from the visitor flow. Adjacent to each of the rooms are informal, sheltered seating zones for both waiting committee members and guests.
