DOKK1 - A JOURNEY
AROUND THE GLOBE

The series of artistic playgrounds located across the expansive deck at Dokk1 in Aarhus, Denmark are designed to each represent a different corner of the Earth. The playgrounds are united through visual cues, not only guiding the way but also weaving a captivating narrative.

The design of the playgrounds interacts intentionally with the encompassing cultural center, reinforcing what the children have already experienced and learnt about.

SUPPORTING
LOCAL BIODIVERSITY

We're continuously aware of the need to take responsibility for the environment and the impact we have on it. As a token of our efforts, we've recently established a wildflower meadow on the grounds of our HQ, providing a haven for bees, butterflies, and other wildlife while, at the same time, reducing air pollution. 🌻
