The BIG HQ in Copenhagen is featured on the cover of German magazine DETAIL’s September issue. The 14-page story dives deep into the building’s construction, materials, and craftsmanship and features a Q&A with BIG’s Founder and Creative Director Bjarke Ingels alongside an interview with Associate and BIG HQ Design Lead Frederik Lyng. Architecturally anchored in Copenhagen harbour’s heritage of warehouses and factories, the 7-storey BIG HQ is BIG’s first example of fully integrated LEAP design – a collaboration between Landscape, Engineering, Architecture, and Product designers. Upon entering the main entrance through a 3-m-tall glass door, BIGsters and guests will find themselves in a dramatic Piranesian space, where the inner life of the building reveals itself through diagonal views all the way up to the top floor. “We needed to create a building that felt like a single, vast space. A space in which every staff member feels like part of a big team,” remarks Lyng in the story.
