«The Wedge» is a «small high-rise» and an untraditional low-energy office building. The project is tailor-made for small and innovative firms. 12 stories holds retail on ground level, open office floors for co-working, and a communal restaurant on top. Each floor is small: 10 meters wide at the widest, 4 meters at the most narrow. We have tried to enhance this quality and use it to make an environment that will host multiple companies, one or more per floor. . In DEG 42, the best spaces in the building are reserved for the public or as common areas for all who work there: The roof has a sheltered common terrace with views to all directions through openings in the fortress-inspired walls. The 10th floor is common for all tenants, with its’ chill out lounge that can also be used for big meetings or even as a pop up restaurant or parties. On ground level, DEG42 holds a restaurant for the public – a place for the whole city.
