Vibrant campus enhancing student experience and learning environment
Peeking in from the outside, one immediately senses that DMJX Copenhagen is a dynamic, creative, and forward-thinking environment. From the bold, bright façade to the green staircase spiraling up through the atrium, this is a campus that exudes ‘DMJX’. And, with sustainability, flexibility and well-being at the core of the design, it’s made for the future.
State-of-the-art campus that exudes ‘DMJX’
Moving from an older, outdated building, DMJX wanted their new Copenhagen campus to be a forward-thinking learning environment that clearly communicates their brand and identity.
A unique breed of students
In channeling DMJX’s identity into the building, our designers considered what makes these students unique, and what kind of world they are training to navigate in. We also emphasised creative, collaborative environments, thoughtful placement of different activity zones, and strong visual connections to support a healthy community at the campus.
A building with a heart
DMJX is a vibrant home for the students to express themselves, collaborate, and socialise. At its heart is a towering atrium, and spiraling the height of it, the Green Line staircase connects all floors while offering spots for informal teamwork, hanging out or simply enjoying the view. Transparency and openness is everywhere – notably, the front-facing façade was made transparent, inviting the public inside to enjoy the café at ground level and the rooftop terrace.
As a CO₂-reducing measure, the glass façade avoids the use of concrete altogether, instead featuring wood panels and resting on iron bars; the ground-floor is clad in recycled bricks. And, with most interior walls being made of plaster, rooms are easily modified or combined to accommodate future needs.
