We AreEFFEKT is an architectural office committed to designing and evolving projects for the city. We conduct assignments within the field of architecture and urbanism combining joyful design and thorough analysis into value for clients and end users. Our products range from building design, to urban planning, public spaces and landscaping.
EFFEKT design is the retention of explorative and playful attitudes into seriousness. Such attitudes include curiosity, creativity, humour, joy, imagination and wonder. We believe that having these attitudes is essential to identify and create valuable new designs because they enable us to embrace the constant change of our society.
EFFEKT believes that deep analysis and a clearly defined approach are integral parts of a successful design process, because asking the right question is part of finding the right answer. We work closely with clients and collaborators to identify and develop the potentials, from the initial analysis to the realization of projects. Our projects begin with initial analysis and determining preconditions and core values, in order to maximize value for clients, users and society.
EFFEKT has over the past years, through publications, exhibitions, prizes and awards, along with a series of highly profiled projects, distinguished itself as a new profile on the Danish architectural scene.

Gellerup TMGellerup TM is a plan for revitalization of a unique modernist housing area in Denmark. The project is a cultural, economic and physical reurbanisation of the historical new town. The future development will focus on creating multifunctional and multicultural vibrant city-life. The project proposes a densification and reprogramming of the area, new local neighborhoods, new urban centers and public spaces as well as a comprehensive new plan for the green areas. Together, these measures develop and challenge the modernist heritage with the needs and desires of modern day lifestyles.

Visitor Center in HareskovenThe Visitor Center in Hareskoven offers a wide range of different functions for the many visitors to the woods. The location of the building, on a hilltop in the middle of the beautiful beech forest has inspired this landscape shaped building, carved out of forest ground and thus blending with the surrounding landscape.
The roof surface is imagined as an addition to the hill on which it is located, and gives visitors the opportunity to walk across the house and further into the forest. The star shaped plan cuts straight through the hill leaving the central part of the building 1,5 meters below the forest floor.
The South Harbour of Grenaa is a combined fishing and industrial harbour facing changes and a decrease in existing activities. The project is a strategic plan investigating and shaping future opportunities for the South Harbour. The harbour site is divided into 5 different clusters, each developed from local potentials, existing structures and economies.
On the coastline we propose a blue landscape design in the shape of a marine park developing and shaping new uses and facilities on the waterfront. The marine park is an artificial barrier reef creating a rich mix of marine life and urban leisure addressing future residents as well as real estate development.

The Music Plaza will become Copenhagen’s new venue for music, culture, events and city life. The project brings together the existing facilities, institutions and activities to a new and fully integrated destination.
The project consists of three strategic levels; a graphic floor with three stages that defines the new plaza, a new roof that creates a cov-ered outdoor eventspace and a landmark of the Music Plaza and a transformation of the existing buildings which allow for new con-nections between the indoor- and outdoor activities.

The housing area is located at the border between the old city center and a newer suburban area in the small Austrian town Gleisdorf.
The project combines an intimate local environment with an urban mix of different urban spaces and facilities. By creating solitary buildings of varying size and function, intimate small courtyards and plazas in between the houses are created. All houses have a private roof terrace which creates a balance between common and private spaces.

The Science City Experimentarium is situ-ated in an old bottling hall in Tuborg Havn, Copenhagen. However they have outgrown the existing facilities and needs the double amount of square meters already accessible. So how can we transform and extend the old bottling hall into a playful and adventurous setting for an innovative Science Centre?
Using the oversized concrete structure in the existing bottling hall we can extend the building by building upwards. We see the combined functions as a ‘mini city’ of science when joined together at the site. All functions are wrapped around a continuous exhibition space – an interactive playground for learning and exploring science.

The new Town Hall in Tallinn, Estonia hosts a wide range of public services as well as the Tallinn city council and administration. The new city hall outside the medieval city center is a reinterpretation of Tallinn’s historical towers and spires and becomes a monument for the surrounding area’s transformation from former industrial harbour to a new cultural city district.
The new building combines a rational stacking of the entire municipal administration and city council with generous public spaces on the ground floor where the public service functions are located.
The main structure of the masterplan is besides the historical grid of Fredericia a diverse network of public spaces that connects 5 new public anchor points in the city: a cultural shipyard, a marketplace, swimming and spa facilities, a school, sport facilities and a innovative learning lab by the waterfront. The public network is a solid common frame-work and impetus for real estate develop-ment in the area for years to come.
The project proposes an innovative inte-gration of real estate development with transportation services, energy supply and a range of other services to the city which together constitute an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable develop-ment strategy for the district.

The project is based on the vision of creating a democratic house which connects the two existent buildings on the site. The new town hall is a remake of the regular office building, made into a circle to create a continuous flow without dead ends.
Beneath the circular building all common functions are connected with an open foyer.
The commercial buildings at Vigerslev Station contains shops, services, and offices. The diamond shaped plot is defined by Vigerslev Alle, the train tracks and Retortvej.
The lower floors of the building are used for shops, whereas the upper part of the building volume, contains the more light dependent business floors. The top part is divided in two peaks creating a unique building profile of two ‘mountain peaks’ with a ‘valley’ in between.
The building becomes a landmark for the station and the whole area’s thriving development. The large roof surface is perforated by light shafts, patios and terraces which provide light and views to the office spaces.

Green metropolis is a vision for the Copenhagen Metropolitan Zone in the heart of Copenhagen. The green metropolis is going to be a demonstration of the new development of Copenhagen. It is about going green and dense at the same time.The project suggests a combination of four strategies.
A densification strategy: raising the building mass by 50%. A strategy of getting more people through the area by upgrading flows, connections and destinations. A new infrastructural plan that reduces the amount of cars on the street level and thereby adding new public spaces. And finally we propose a green policy toolkit.

Green Metropolis
Playbar combines a playground and café, because there are virtually no places in town where this combination exists. The Playbar hosts a café located in the middle of a playground, creating a synergy and a location for grown ups and their kids. Playbar offers adult guests to socialize and hang out in a green oasis in the middle of the city while their kids use the playground with plenty of room to play and excersise with other children.
Playbar serves as an icon for Copenhagens model for urban life. It draws together and illustrates key Copenhagen core values such as children’s culture, innovative use of recreational urban space in a grip that strengthen Copenhagen’s profile with a sustainable and child-friendly environment.

Proposal for an outdoor and indoor nightclub at the Lido in Venice. Instead of the typical nightclub enclosed in a box, this project envisions an open cohesive environment offering a broad range of spatial experiences.
The new typology of the project is based on the vision of a large floating outdoor garden which is elevated to accommodate the different spaces and functions in the ground floor. The great valley, the scene, the dance floor and the garden create a continuous outdoor and indoor environment with plenty of variety and opportunity to relax on one of the outdoor terraces or to sit at the bar in the cave.

The building is designed as a block in 6 staggered plans organized around an indoor atrium. The atrium ensures natural ventilation and daylight throughout the building, while the staggered and rotated plans provide a variety of different learning environments, terraces, balconies and niches.
CommunicationStrategy
We help clients identify and shape opportunities from initial analysis throughout realization. We believe that analysis, strategy and design are coherent and integrated parts of a successful evolution. We work “from the what to the how”. We combine research and design in our practice to achieve a wider perspective in all projects, because asking the right question is part of finding the right answer. Through design we discover, evolve and shape the specific potentials of each assignment and its context.
Visualization is a cornerstone of any new invention. We visualize and communicate ideas through models, images and diagrams to share, test and enhance ideas with users, clients, experts or with the public. Visual communication is an integrated part of our design process and we help clients communicate and evolve ideas from analysis to realization and sale.
We Design
People SizeExperience
Our surroundings are increasingly shaped by market demands for experience and identity. We embrace the demand for unique experiences as a driving force in the invention of unique solutions. Rather than chasing a certain architectural style we seek to explore and develop the unique demands and conditions of every project into unique solutions. This method evolves a wide range of differentiated designs, each presenting unique experiences and identities to the end user.
We believe that valuable products are created through responsive processes. We work closely with clients, users and experts to transform root challenges into new potentials. We mediate and combine specific needs, demands, economies and technologies into integrated solutions. User centred design is an integrated method informing our design and enhancing the end product, thus adding value to client, users and society.
