Additional info:

NIRAS contributed to the design of the world’s most accessible office building. It is the first office building aiming at 100% accessibility for all. All structures were designed in accordance with the Eurocodes and the Danish National Annexes. The building was designed with very few bracing walls. Therefore, it has been necessary to prestress the concrete walls in order to minimize the deflections.
