As an extension to the headquarters of Danish Red Cross, the Volunteer House is directly connected to the existing main entrance, thus creating a common entrance to the entire Red Cross. Shaped as a triangle with a spectacular accessible roof surface, the Volunteer House is designed with the ambition to invite people in, and to encourage passersby to enter and explore. The façade gives the building a distinctive architectural expression, making it an iconic building that both relates to and reinterprets its surroundings. The building contains a flexible interior lay-out, making room for both workshops, exhibitions, lectures and much more.
