BLOX is Denmark’s world of architecture, design and new ideas. The building is designed by the world-famous Dutch firm OMA under the leadership of Partner/Director Ellen van Loon.
BLOX is more than a building. It is a pulsating city in itself – and a new destination on Copenhagen’s harbor front located in between Langebro bridge and the Black Diamond building that houses the Royal Library. Here offices, exhibitions and apartments live side by side with shopping, fitness and restaurants. At the same time, a large passage connects the harbor with the medieval city and creates life around Bryghus Square. In this way, BLOX is part of turning Copenhagen’s former industrial harbor into a vibrant cultural harbor. With its location in Copenhagen’s beautiful Cultural District, the building is also only a short walk from many of Denmark’s other great cultural experiences.
