Fjordenhus -several yards out into the waters of Denmark’s Vejle Fjord, connected to the shore by a footbridge and a subterranean tunnel, is the new office of investment and holding company Kirk Kapital – owned by three brothers directly descended from LEGO founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen.
Designed by the studio of Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, the structure is composed of 970,000 bricks formed into four intersecting cylinders. The ground floor of the structure is accessible by the public.

Methinks Gaudi would approve.
that’s lovely
What do we get? That Sam Stepheson monstrosity on Dame Street!
I like it: I’m a fan of brutalism but I think that maybe it works better when it isn’t in a grey, damp climate.
Or built at the cost of actually aethetically pleasing architecture. .. See also Fitzwilliam square. Just horrible
I’d love if they built up here, but I wouldn’t be confident of it being done well.
Fitzwilliam Square? Whereabouts?
all those awful redbrick building – carbon copies of each other. They should all be ripped down and replaces with concrete.
*fistbump*
The central bank? Was not bad
But remember the bunkers on wood quay
They levelled a historical site of Viking significance and put those awful civic offices on it
I believe Sam Stephenson
He really was the son of sam of architecture
A ray of happiness as usual dave.
That’s beautiful, but making the muck for it must have been some dose.
Evidently you must of been in your mothers womb when wood quay happened
It was a travesty
It could of been developed as a tourist site and the civic offices moved to another site in Dublin that the council had
But no the pig headed council insisted on it being wood quay
Both my wife and myself marched with thousands to save wood quay
Sadly now you can see mechanical models of a viking village with a special scent released to make your experience wonderful when you go into the bowls of the bunkers
Another short sighted example of arrogance by councils
Much will also be said about the 1916 supermarket complex which could of been another tourist attraction on Moore street
A plaque will replace what could of been a museum remembering our birth of a nation
In Ireland we seem not to really care about our heritage over a quick buck
But hey papi
If I say black you say white
Looks like a supervillain’s lair. I would totes live in it.
Aye, there’s no trapdoor-accessible shark tank but it’s otherwise well set up for plotting evils.
I wonder if the inspiration was largo’s lair in octopusesy which surfaced
I loved that film
Yes, it’s very nice
but there’s no garden
