The Wave In Vejle, designed by Henning Larsen Architects, has been selected as winner of the prestigious Civic Trust Award. The Wave in Vejle also won an international LEAF Award. In 2009, the building was selected as the residential building of the year by the Danish trade magazineByggeri and, in 2010, it won the local Vejle award.
The Wave in Vejle is a new unique housing and with its sculptural and organic forms it will become the new landmark of Vejle. With the magnificent location overlooking the promenade and the bay the characteristic building both respects and challenges the potential of the area. During the day the white waves are reflected in the sea and at night the characteristic profile will look like illuminated multi-coloured mountains. The building has 140 attractive apartments many with two-story house plans, all with a wonderful view.The Wave is inspired by the characteristics of the area: the fjord, the bridge, the town and the hills. The clear and easily recognisable signature of the building connects the residential area with the sea, the landscape and the town. read more on architects site: Henning Larsen Architects

Product Description
The ability to capture the spirit of a time, while still maintaining a sense of continuity, is emblematic of much great modern architecture. The projects created by Henning Larsen are no exception. Using a contemporary and sophisticated formal language, Larsen and his studio have succeeded in extracting the essence of the new and in translating it into a consistent and convincing architectural idiom. His strength lies in simplification of form and function, evident in his use of archetypal elements and themes such as the house-within-a-house and the internal street. Brought to international acclaim with his design for the Foreign Ministry building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the early 80s, Larsen's most recent works include Christiansbro and the Danish Design Center, both located in Copenhagen.
Essays by Kjeld Vindum and Peter Davey. Introduction by Kjeld Kjeldsen. 5.5 x 7 in.
