Practice Ideology
Across diverse typologies and scales, 3XN’s work is driven by the conviction that architecture should give something back – to people, to communities, and to our planet. Since its founding in Aarhus, Denmark in 1986, the architecture firm has specialised in transformational projects: projects that give obsolete structures new form and character, that transform dormant neighbourhoods into thriving cultural hubs, or that unite disparate organizations into collaborative communities. A commitment to the highest standards of sustainability and design excellence unites the studio’s portfolio. Form and performance are not at odds, but rather continuously enhance and shape one another.
Among 3XN’s most high-profile projects are Olympic House – the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Lausanne (Switzerland); the new Fish Market and Quay Quarter Tower in Sydney (Australia); and Royal Arena and The Blue Planet National Aquarium in Copenhagen (Denmark).
With offices in Copenhagen (HQ), Stockholm, Sydney, New York, London, and Amsterdam, the diverse perspective of 3XN’s global practice gives greater depth to its holistic methodology which prioritizes behaviour, curiosity, and circularity.
