Rødovre Town Hall

Rødovre Town Hall is a municipal administrative building in Rødovre, Denmark, with two distinct wings connected by a glass corridor. The structure features grey glass curtain walls set in metal frames and stainless steel details.

Architect Arne Jacobsen completed this modernist structure in 1956, drawing inspiration from the General Motors Technical Center near Detroit. The building marks a turning point in Scandinavian design's influence on public architecture.

The council chamber displays furniture and interior elements shaped by Danish design thinking of the 1950s. Visitors can see today how modernist principles were applied to public spaces in Scandinavia.

The building contains municipal offices, meeting spaces, and public areas with wheelchair access provided through ramps and elevators. The clear layout and organized design help visitors navigate the space easily.

A central staircase suspended from the roof uses orange-red steel rods and features rubber-coated stainless steel steps. This technical feature is a striking example of how engineering and design combine in the structure.
