Architecture Of The Day – Lego Building By CF Møller Architects.
The campus forms part of Lego’s masterplan for Billund, where the company has been based since the 1930s. This includes the visitor centre by BIG that was completed in 2017, and takes the form of a stack of huge building blocks.
As well as the new buildings in Denmark by BIG and CF Møller, Lego is also planning to expand its existing offices in Connecticut, London, Shanghai and Singapore.
CF Møller Architects is a Danish architecture studio founded by Christian Frederik Møller in 1924.
Other recent projects by the studio include the Maersk Tower, a “sculptural linchpin” on the Copenhagen skyline, and a proposal for a plant-covered tower in Oslo.
Århus studio CF Møller Architects designed the offices with bold, geometric forms reminiscent of Lego bricks,
which are also playfully adorned with giant versions of the building blocks.
According to the studio partner Klaus Toustrup, this idea was informed by a painting in the office of Lego’s owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, which portrays a child proudly presenting his lego creation.
