The Crystal, Office building at Kalvebod Brygge waterfront, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The six-floor Crystal building features transparent glass walls in a geometric form, supported by a single point and line above the ground level.
The Crystal, designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects as an extension to Nykredit headquarters, opened its doors in March 2011 in Copenhagen.
The building integrates with urban surroundings through a public plaza featuring Denmark's largest fountain with 2,000 water valves and light-colored slate paving.
The triple-layered glass facade and photovoltaic roof panels reduce energy consumption to 70 kWh per square meter, marking a 25 percent reduction from standard requirements.
The interior follows a Z-shaped floor plan around two atria, maximizing natural light distribution while eliminating the need for support columns in work areas.
