DOKK1 Aarhus

Connecting the historic city center to the waterfront

Location: Aarhus
Architect: Schmidt, Hammer & Lassen K/S
Country: Denmark
Region: Europe

Located at Hack Kampmanns Plads, DOKK1 stands at a key point where the Aarhus River meets the city. It bridges the historic city center with the waterfront, creating a seamless connection. The building's design features a bold polygonal upper structure that seems to float above a glass base, all supported by a podium with sculptural stairs that fan out, inviting people to engage with the surrounding public spaces. This design makes DOKK1 not just a building, but a striking and accessible landmark.
