The first new Danish theatre to be erected outside Copenhagen for more than a century was inaugurated at the beginning of 2017 in the station square of Hjørring in the north of Jutland. Built for the province of Vendsyssel, this theatre complex, with a gross floor area of 4,200 m2, houses four halls, articulated into cubic structures of various sizes.
Their facades are clad partly in Corten steel and partly in panes of laminated safety glass of the same dimensions. As a result of the sheet aluminium to the rear, the areas of glass assume a soft red, orange, yellow and bottle-green coloration during the day. A quite different play of colours manifests itself at night, when the glass is rear-lighted by LEDs of changeable hue.
On the west and south sides, strip windows on two levels lend a horizontal accent. On the ground floor behind these glazed areas is the foyer together with the theatre cafe. On the upper level are offices and a gallery, from which there is access to the largest auditorium. A further two-storey tract on the eastern side houses dressing rooms and costume-making facilities.
