Overview
Architecture studio Cubo designed the Kornmarken Campus, a manufacturing innovation center situated on the Lego campus in Billund, Denmark. The building, constructed using a hybrid mass-timber and concrete approach, is designed to be visually recognizable as associated with Lego. It accommodates Lego's innovation and manufacturing teams.
Research Context
The Kornmarken Campus is located near Lego's headquarters and the BIG-designed Lego House in Billund. It represents the latest addition to the Lego campus.
Approach
Cubo's design approach for the Kornmarken Campus involved creating a structure that is "unmistakably Lego." A central element of this design is a 25-tonne brick. The building's construction utilizes a hybrid of mass-timber and concrete materials.
The facility integrates spaces for both innovation and manufacturing teams from the toy brand.
