In the new neighbourhood the property owner of the almen housing development Albertslund Syd wished to gather employees, administration and maintenance machines. Vandkunsten was commissioned for the task, and proposed a robust and beautiful wooden building, consisting entirely of surfaces in wood. The result is that the employees are freed to focus on the tenants of the 1000 almene atrium houses that comprise Albertslund Syd.

The administration : the layout of the building is organized around one, long access hall which goes along the east facade. The building is categorized into three units with separate entrances: 1. tenant purposed functions, 2. employee facilities and 3. board facilities. Storage space is integrated in the wall along the access hall, and as larger spaces adjoining entrances to the rooms. All the units has access to a shared, sheltered terrace facing the courtyard.

The workshop : the building is organized into three main sections dependent on their need for heating: 1. workshop and exchange central (heated to normal temperature), 2. garage, car wash, storage (heated to be above freezing temperature), and 3. oil/chemistry (unheated, though sheltered).
