The two long-time partners at Vandkunsten, Jan Albrechtsen and Pernille Schyum Poulsen, have decided to step down from the partnership as of December 31, 2025. However, they will both continue as senior consultants and will, among other things, see through the ongoing parallel assignment on Refshaleøen.

We are very happy and proud that the Housing Association AAB has chosen to award the task of renovating the local center in department 55 Vejleåparken to Vandkunsten, DANAKON A/S Consulting Engineers, and KOMMON.

The task involves both renovation of the center, landscaping of the immediate surrounding area of the center, as well as a user process. The existing local center must be demolished down to the foundation, and the new one will be built within the existing foundation, which will be reused.

The local center is an important place for the department - it is here that residents can go to take care of practical matters and gather for events and activities for both large and small groups. In the future, the center should more prominently signal that it is a meeting place for people of many different ages and cultures, and be more inviting to accommodate a variety of initiatives.

We strengthen our close ties to the research and teaching environment when partner Søren Nielsen per 1 March takes up a professorship in the practice of architecture at the Aarhus School of Architecture. In doing so, he follows in the footsteps of Vandkunsten founders Michael Sten Johnsen and Jens Thomas Arnfred.
