Richshuset, Art Deco office building at Rådhuspladsen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Richshuset stands at the intersection of Rådhuspladsen and Vesterbrogade, featuring a prominent corner tower with gilded weather girls and a neon thermometer.
Completed in 1936 by architect Alf Cock-Clausen, the building replaced the former Central Hotel and served as headquarters for C.F. Rich & Sons coffee substitute company until 1969.
The decorative elements, including the two gilded weather girls atop the corner tower, were created by Danish sculptor Einar Utzon-Franck, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts.
The building provides office and retail spaces near public transportation, with an estimated exposure to 35,000 daily pedestrians and 62,000 passing vehicles.
The building displays one of Copenhagen's rare preserved neon advertisements from the 1930s, featuring a thermometer in neon tubes running up the tower.
