danish we architecture have won the competition to renovate the existing mariehoj culturcenter in holte, denmark.

the future ‘mariehoj’ will draw a clear profile in the landscape. with a new foyer, the cultural center will get a new face for the community of ruderdahl.

the center merges together with the green landscape: it bridges the gap between the arrival area, the cultural plaza and the backyard of mariehoj, opening up the surroundings with the activities in the building.

the building is a cultural acitivity center as well as a functioning working place. through reorganization and rebuilding; better spaces for individual activities have been created.
