Project Case
ATP – Hillerød
A sustainable campus expansion for one of Denmark’s largest pension funds, certified DGNB Gold and built extensively in timber. Shading integrated into the glazing keeps 1,300 employees comfortable and connected to the outdoor garden spaces that define the campus. No compromise on transparency, daylight or architectural quality.
Where Sustainability Meets the Everyday Work Experience
When ATP set out to expand their headquarters at Kongens Vænge in Hillerød, sustainability and the quality of the working environment were at the heart of the project from the outset. The expansion adds five new timber pavilions to the existing courtyard, creating approximately 2,500 m2 of new space alongside a 4,000 m2 transformation of existing areas. The result is a campus that brings 1,300 employees closer together through varied workspaces, stronger connections between departments and a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor environments.
AI Arkitekter & Ingeniører served as total consultant on the project, with BGB A/S as main contractor. Sustainability was central to every decision, and the project is certified DGNB Gold, with timber used extensively in load-bearing structures, facades, floors and roofing, and existing materials reused throughout the landscaped garden spaces.
For a building designed to attract and retain talent, the indoor environment matters as much as the architecture. MicroShade was chosen as the solar shading solution for the facades, ensuring optimal room temperatures even in sun-exposed conditions, while maintaining plenty of natural daylight throughout the day. A clear, unobstructed view to the outdoor garden spaces is preserved at all times, keeping employees connected to the surroundings that make the campus distinctive.
The ATP headquarters demonstrates how solar shading can be an integrated part of a broader sustainable ambition, contributing to both occupant comfort and reduced energy consumption without compromise on transparency or architectural quality.
Our Project Cases
Skovlunde Skole
A former swimming hall transformed into a modern assembly space for students, staff and the local community. At the heart of it, a south-facing facade where light, views and comfort had to coexist.
Traditional blinds and screens require mechanical systems, power supplies, maintenance contracts and regular replacement. They block the view when closed and do nothing when open.
MicroShade® is integrated directly into the glazing unit. Passive, permanent and automatic, it works with the angle of the sun delivering shade in summer and allowing warmth through in winter. No moving parts. No intervention required.
No. Visible light transmission of 50-60% ensures interiors remain genuinely bright throughout the year. Unlike solar control glass, the microstructure blocks high-angle solar heat while allowing diffuse daylight to pass through freely.
Colour rendering above Ra 95 means natural light inside the building stays true to its source.
Yes. The product integrates into standard double or triple glazed units and is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects. No mechanical systems, no wiring and no structural modifications are required.
There is no impact on the building exterior and no additional trades are needed beyond the glazing contractor already on the project.
The microstructure film sits protected inside the glazing cavity and is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, though the join between sheets is visible on close inspection. From the outside the facade looks clean and as designed.
From the inside the view out remains clear and unobstructed at all times. No tint, no visible pattern and no reduction in the quality of the outlook.
