A Cohesive, Material-Driven Headquarters Shaped by Flow, Function and a Nordic Rhythm
Elcon’s new headquarters was conceived as a functional workplace that gathers the company’s many competencies under one roof. Ambiente shaped the full interior concept from zoning and flow to materials and bespoke elements. The result is an environment where employees and visitors feel at home.

From Early Planning to Identity and Materials
The project began in close collaboration with KT Erhvervsbyg, using the early phase to secure optimal flow and clear zoning. Ambiente developed an interior concept spanning both the ground-floor administration and the full first floor, ensuring coherence across functions and departments. The ambition was to create a workplace that supports everyday movement and collaboration. Elcon works with installations, cables and technical solutions, and these visual worlds became a source of inspiration. Colours, textures and materials found inside the wires informed the palette, reflecting who Elcon is. This translation of technical identity into a warm expression forms a recognisable foundation throughout the interior.
A Strong and Welcoming Heart of the House
The large common room acts as the social centre of the headquarters, a space for gatherings, informal meetings and visitor reception. Raw concrete surfaces create a calm look, softened by white elements, coloured tiles and indoor plants and trees. Breakout zones and casual seating areas support informal meetings and quiet moments.
Bespoke Solutions and Sustainability
Ambiente designed and produced a range of bespoke elements that add character and functionality. Custom counters, zoning components and special fittings contribute to a personal and unique expression across both floors. As a DGNB-certified building, sustainability played a central role. Existing furniture was reused, design classics reupholstered, and desk frames given new tabletops, extending material life and reducing environmental impact. These choices support a responsible and long-term interior solution.
