GN Store Nord, Copenhagen Sketch for invited competition 1. Prize Entering the new office building of GN Store Nord, drafted by Nobel Architects, Denmark, the big atrium opens the view over the whole complex and represents the gathering point for the company building. The atrium consists of gangways, a cylindrical auditorium and two free-standing conference rooms. The elevator, which is situated right in front of the entrance, is the only moving object in the very technical and static environment. The slightly angular stripes of the elevator tower, which are printed on laminated glass, interfere with the stripes on the moving cabin. The result is a dynamic, slightly changing moiré effect whenever the elevator goes up and down.
