Financial businesses sharing and opening up to the community
To share facilities, open up, and inspire both employees and the surrounding community - this approach was essential to PLH when designing the two allied headquarters of AP Pension and Nykredit, as well as their shared building, all of which demonstrate a strong, visible commitment to social sustainability.
An ambition to be first movers within social sustainability
AP Pension and Nykredit wanted new headquarters that would establish them as attractive workplaces with a strong connection to the local community. For AP Pension and Nykredit, social sustainability is essential in all aspects, including the design of their headquarters.
New generations require work-life balance
Today, an attractive and sustainable workplace is one that offers value to the people working there as well as to the surroundings. To bring out the best in your employees, you need to provide resources that facilitate a balance between work and private life, as well as environments that inspire a sense of community and make a positive impact on the local community.
Attractive workspaces and a welcoming neighbor
Filled with bright, open spaces, the two joint headquarters were designed to inspire sharing and foster a sense of community at every opportunity. With a range of public facilities and spaces—including a fitness club on the first floor with harbor views, a shared pavilion for winter bathing, a kayak club with a communal sauna—all open to the public, along with a community kitchen, a rooftop garden overlooking the harbor, and a public café facing the park, the buildings go above and beyond in giving back to the local community.
The buildings are expected to achieve DGNB Gold and DGNB Diamond certifications for their sustainable solutions, architecture, and functionality.
