The headquarters reflects DLF

The task was to design a headquarters that reflects DLF’s values while creating an optimal environment for the employees. In addition to containing advanced laboratories, growth facilities, and state-of-the-art workspaces, the entire building structure was to be defined by carefully considered natural materials and energy-efficient solutions.

A design rooted in nature

The design process was based on DLF’s visions of future responsibility, employee-centered innovation, and a strong connection to the landscape and nature. The location on Kildedal Hill has made it possible to integrate the building into the natural contours of the terrain. As a result, the landscape becomes an active part of the architecture and is present throughout the building.

Built on DLF’s core values

The design of the headquarters consists of staggered levels that follow the landscape, giving the building a distinctive character. A large glass-covered atrium draws light deep into the building and becomes a dynamic focal point. The open atrium creates a clear and transparent structure. The canteen is positioned with views of the surrounding landscape, and by utilizing the slope of the terrain, it features floor-to-ceiling glass panels. A movable glass wall separates the atrium and the canteen, supporting flexible use of the spaces for different events. The ever-present landscape and surrounding outdoor areas are brought into the interior, where wooden surfaces and window frames create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

In addition to bright, flexible workspaces, the building includes a laboratory section that houses DLF’s laboratories for research, education, and product development. Despite the building’s large volume, ensuring close synergy between the office workspaces and the laboratory section has been a key priority, and they are therefore located in close proximity.

The modern workspaces, advanced laboratories, and social areas such as fitness facilities and lounges are all centered on offering employees an attractive and forward-thinking workplace, where functionality goes hand in hand with a close connection to nature.
