A bespoke little black box with all the technology required to enhance creativity and transfer performances to the biggest stages.
Thoravej 29 in Copenhagen is a vibrant hub for art, social innovation, and sustainability. Home to 150 individuals from 30 organisations, it fosters collaboration across disciplines to drive positive societal change.
Established by Bikubenfonden, which purchased the 4,621 sq m former industrial building in 2021, Thoravej 29 is designed to inspire new ways of thinking through its diverse facilities, including a black box theatre, white cube gallery, workshops, studios, and collaborative workspaces.
Sustainability is central to its design as the building renovation reused existing materials – ceilings became stairs, facades became floors, and old doors were repurposed to be used as tables.
This eco-conscious transformation, led by Pihlmann Architects and Hoffmann A/S Construction, has earned the building a DGNB Gold pre-certification from the Danish Council for Sustainable Building in 2023, and the Building Award from the Danish Building of the Year competition in 2024.
