"Lundgaard and Tranberg have created two remarkable buildings, one being the SEB Headquarters, the other a smaller office building for rent. They have created a fine new landscaped space for Copenhagen which climbs via a zig-zag of paths to join the upper level urban park that was envisaged in the masterplan for the development of the former freight yards.
The free-form buildings, responding to sun and views, are well composed and are attractively clad with glass panels (60% transparent, 40% highly insulated glass panels of an attractive deep turquoise colour) with deeply recessed, copper-clad joints at all floor levels. Inside the buildings the ground floor plane rises in an intricate series of steps and stepped seating that extend beyond the curtain wall to the landscape outside." -- RIBA
