HOUSE OF THE WEEK: The Wave by Henning Larsen Architects

To remember Danish architect Henning Larsen, who died on Saturday 22nd June at his home in Copenhagen at the age of 87, our House of the Week is one of his practice’s residential schemes, completed in 2009. Located in the south-east of mainland Denmark, The Wave is a landmark luxury-housing project comprising 115 flats, many of which are two-level, overlooking the Vejle Fjord. Henning Larsen Architects won the project in an invited competition in 2005, with the real-estate company Bertel Nielsen as the client. Two of the sculptural ‘wave’ blocks have been completed so far and a further three are expected to be constructed along the same plane in the near future. The Wave derives its form from the characteristics of the area: the fjord, the bridge, the town and the hills.
