Bagsværd Observation Home / JAJA Architects

Valeria Silva — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Originally built as a summer villa for the royal court dentist in the early 1900s, the Bagsværd Observation Home, located by the scenic Bagsværd Lake, serves children and families who need extra support during difficult times. The villa has undergone extensive renovation and expansion, blending historical charm with modern functionality to meet the needs of today's families. Livsvaerk is the association behind the modernization and renovation of the Bagsværd Observation Home. The main aim of the project has been to make the physical setting of the site provide even better support for the social pedagogical work that the association performs for some of the most vulnerable in Danish society – vulnerable children and their families.

Gigantium Urban Space / JAJA Architects

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 03:00:00 +0000

Project description
Assigned to transform a former loading area into a new plaza, our vision has been to create an urban space where sports and cultural life inside Gigantium – Aalborg’s biggest sports- and culture center – are carried further out to the outdoor space. Shades of red and white playful streaks lead people from the street into the square and give identity to the concrete elements.

Vrå Children and Culture Center / JAJA Architects + AART Architects

Andreas Luco — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 08:00:00 +0000

The Vrå Children and Culture Centre goes beyond a conventional school building. It is a place that challenges the boundaries between classroom academics, extracurricular activities, and community life. Evolving the isolated nature of many traditional schools, Vrå is just as much a community space for the entire town, as it is for the students. Architecturally, by blending the built environment with the surrounding landscape, the school challenges the relationship between constructed and natural.

Sola Church / JAJA Architects

Andreas Luco — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +0000

The Sola Church is designed to be the new gathering space in the town of Sola. Located at the end of the main street, it is the first of its kind in the town center and has a significant presence in the urban space. Designed for both spiritual congregations and as a social gathering space, the church redefines the identity of the small town. The contemporary church and existing town center exist in symbiosis. The nave is placed as a direct extension of the main street creating a plaza for both the church and town. This provides the town with an active termination of the main street and the church with an urban space that opens up to its surroundings.

Roskilde Waterscape / Creo arkitekter + JAJA Architects

Hana Abdel — Tue, 14 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Roskilde Waterscape creates a new extension that embraces the diversity of users and programs, integrates the various existing structures, provides good daylight, and reinterprets the potential of the surrounding landscape. It transforms the existing building complex and 1960s water tower into a cohesive spatial experience featuring a range of naturally lit bathing areas directly connected to the surrounding park.

Parking House Ejler Bille / JAJA Architects

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 17:00:00 +0000

Ejler Bille’s Parking House introduces a human scale to the infrastructural facilities that (still) occupy our cities. The ambition has been to transform parking houses from being mere functional necessities for cars, into attractive places for people and our urban environment.

Game Streetmekka Aalborg / JAJA Architects

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 05:00:00 +0000

The former laboratory building situated at Eternitten is a fantastic setting for GAME Streetmekka Aalborg. The production building from 1963 testifies to the industrial history of the neighborhood with its raw and distinctive character, almost demanding to be conquered by urban street culture. Our main concept is to merge the informal nature of street activities into the existing laboratory building frames, creating spatial 'experiments' that inspire new connections between the many activities. Rather than separating them, an urban melting pot is created that encourages spontaneous activity and surprising events.

Park ‘n’ Play / JAJA Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 03:00:00 +0000

Parking houses should be an integral part of the city. But how can we challenge the monofunctional use of the conventional parking house? How do we create a functional parking structure, which is also an attractive public space? And how do we create a large parking house that respects the scale, history and future urban culture of the new development area Nordhavn in Copenhagen?

Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse / JAJA Architects + Bessards' Studio

Cristobal Rojas — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 09:00:00 +0000

Ferocious pounding storms constantly move and shape the fantastic dune landscape on the northwest coast of Denmark. In 1968 an enormous sand dune devoured Rubjerg Knude Ligthouse leaving the tower as the only remaining structure, poised on the edge of the rapidly eroding cliff.

Activity Landscape / JAJA Architects + AI

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 05:00:00 +0000

As small town communities often lack inviting and active public spaces, the Activity Landscape introduces a model for a low-cost sports hall that offer an outdoor and sheltered informal space that playfully encourage activity and recreation, all day and all year around.
