Office building emerges from a Danish fjord

Artist Olafur Eliasson has completed his first building, a curvaceous brick office building which rises out of a fjord in the Danish town of Vejle.

The Fjordenhus, commissioned by financial firm Kirk Kapital in 2011 as its headquarters, was originally due to complete in 2016.

It is described by Eliasson as a contemporary interpretation of the “total work of art”. He also designed the furniture and lighting and some site-specific works of art.
