The team of COWI A/S, Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects, Mikkelsen Architects, and STED has been selected to design Copenhagen?s new diabetes center, Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen. Based on the idea of creating a connection to nature, the Center weaves together the indoors and outdoors, in order to stimulate and nurture patients and visitors.The main entrance to the project faces south to ensure natural lighting, and features a rolling landscape that leads inside, with an in situ poured concrete pathway and landscaped staircases that connect to a public rooftop garden. On arrival, visitors are greeted by a luscious, rolling landscape leading inside. The area is designed with curiosity in mind ? from the outset patients and visitors must feel welcome and enticed to explore.
