Fjordenhus (Fjord House), Vejle, Denmark, commissioned by KIRK KAPITAL, is the first building designed by Olafur Eliasson and Sebastian Behmann with Studio Olafur Eliasson. Rising out of the water, Fjordenhus forges a striking new connection between Vejle Fjord and the city centre of Vejle. Accessible by footbridge, the twenty‐eight‐metre‐high building is formed by four intersecting cylinders with brick facades from which ellipsoidal negative spaces were removed to create complex curved forms and arched windows. The double‐height ground floor, which is open to the public, is permeated by the fjord and contains two aqueous zones with site‐specific artworks by Olafur Eliasson. (see p. 50 ff.)
