Originally, the architect‘s office, COBE, were only commissioned to renovate the theatre in Taastrup near Copenhagen in terms of energy consumption. But, as is well known, energy efficiency is defined as the quotient of benefits and expenditure. The architects, therefore, decided to endow the building with a new aesthetic appearance and to increase the amount of available space within it.
