BIG SHORTLISTED TO DESIGN NEW HOSPICE BUILDING IN HELLERUP, DENMARK

BIG, in collaboration with creo arkitekter, is shortlisted as one of the four architectural teams to design a new hospice building in Hellerup, north of Copenhagen. Commissioned by the nonprofit healthcare organization Sankt Lukas Stiftelsen, the foundation’s new palliative care centre will provide enhanced support for terminally ill patients of all ages and their families, housing hospice programmes for children, young people, and adults; an expanded outgoing hospice team that treats patients in their own homes; and Denmark’s first day hospice. Competing alongside BIG are C.F. Møller with Effekt; Dorte Mandrup with Nord Architects and Marianne Levinsen Landskab; and Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter with Vega Landskab.
