Overview
Architecture studio Cubo has completed the Kornmarken Campus manufacturing innovation center, positioned on the Lego campus in Billund, Denmark. This facility is situated near Lego's headquarters and the BIG-designed Lego House. The building, constructed using a hybrid of mass-timber and concrete, integrates a 25-tonne brick within its design. It currently accommodates Lego's innovation and manufacturing teams.
Research Context
The Kornmarken Campus is a recent addition to the Lego campus infrastructure. Its location in Billund, Denmark, places it in proximity to significant existing Lego establishments, specifically Lego's headquarters and the Lego House, designed by BIG. The project aimed to create a recognizable structure within the campus environment, specifically identified as being "unmistakably Lego."
Approach
Cubo designed the Kornmarken Campus with the intent of achieving a distinctive visual identity, referencing Lego's brand. The construction methodology employed a hybrid approach, combining mass-timber elements with concrete. A central feature of the design is the inclusion of a 25-tonne brick component. The building was conceptualized to house both innovation and manufacturing teams belonging to the toy brand.
