Text description provided by the architects. A beautiful valley in central Jutland surrounds Randers Tegl’s new administration building with showroom and factory facilities for Carlsberg Bjælker.

The two stories high administration and visitors’ building is a composition of four “supersized bricks” with the classical proportions of a Danish brick – a unique concept that creates a distinct common thread throughout the project.

The four “supersized bricks” are made with different facade tiles, and composed in such a way that the building appears homogeneous – yet as a compilation of four independent bricks.

The production facility for Carlsberg Bjælker is based on the architectural concept of the administration building and appears as a composition of stacked bricks.
