Designing a Flexible Research Workplace at Quantum House

Studio Alliance member Danielsen Spaceplanning contributed to the interior design of Quantum House in Copenhagen.

Quantum House is an innovative office building in Copenhagen closely linked to the Niels Bohr Institute and positioned as a hub for research and development in quantum physics. Danielsen Spaceplanning contributed to the interior design, developing a concept centred on flexibility, spatial clarity and support for diverse working patterns within a research-led environment.

Design Intent and Workplace Strategy

The interior concept is based on the creation of a flexible work environment capable of adapting to varying operational requirements and working styles. The spatial framework supports collaboration, focused work and informal interaction through clearly defined yet reconfigurable zones.

Layouts have been designed to allow spaces to be adjusted according to daily activities, enabling the building to accommodate changing needs without compromising functionality.

Material and Spatial Expression

Colours and materials were selected to introduce warmth and character while maintaining an environment conducive to concentration and knowledge exchange. The design balances personality with practicality, ensuring that aesthetic choices also support user comfort.

The flexible layout enables efficient use of the 1,500 m² floor area while contributing to employee well-being and supporting creative and research-oriented activity.

Outcome

The completed interior delivers a cohesive workplace environment that integrates flexibility and comfort within a clear spatial identity. The design aligns with Quantum House’s research focus while providing a functional and adaptable setting for its occupants.
