3XN/GXN

2024 has been a year defined by passionate collaborations and the determination to achieve what once seemed impossible. Our industry’s reputation as challenging to the planet must change, and we are already taking the lead in that transformation with great partnerships. From the launch of the #AWARE exhibition at the Danish Architecture Center (Dansk Arkitektur Center) to the unveiling of the SAP Garden for Red Bull in Munich—through topping-out ceremonies, construction milestones, and humbling prizes for local and international projects—our mission to make architecture a catalyst for creating a better world for everyone is thriving as we continue to push boundaries and bring meaningful impact to communities worldwide. We would like to thank everyone who has been part of this journey: our extraordinary colleagues across continents and countries, our collaborators, clients, and all of you who follow our work with curiosity. As architects, we have a shared responsibility to design for a world in flux, balancing chaos and order while staying ready for bold change when needed. Let’s redefine what’s possible, together. Happy holidays from 3XN GXN, to all of you. See you in 2025! www.3xn.com

As a team representing 3XN/GXN, LINK Arkitektur, Sweco, Kristine Jensen Landskab & Arkitektur, Nickl & Partner Architekten and Region Hovedstaden, we are proud to announce that the North Wing (Nordfløjen) at Rigshospitalet has been named one of the three finalists for the Champions Award at the #EuropeanHealthcareDesignAwards (SALUS Global Knowledge Exchange and Architects For Health)!   In 2021, the North Wing won the Healthcare Design (Over 25,000 sqm) category, and this year, we were honored to compete against the best projects of the past decade in this prestigious category.   Being recognised among the top finalists highlights the impact of innovative, patient-centered healthcare design, and we are thrilled to see the North Wing continue to receive such meaningful recognition.   Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this remarkable achievement. https://lnkd.in/d9hE6yDT

The timber portion of the iconic new Sydney Fish Market roof is now complete, offering a stunning sight to bypassers: With 594 glulam beams - some streching an extraordinary 32 metres in length and weighing up to 7 tonnes, it is the largest roof of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, representing a significant achievement in architectural engineering and craftmanship. Woven into the city’s unique harbour setting, the new Sydney Fish Market promises to be more than just a market: It will become a must-visit destination for food lovers and a celebrated feature of Sydney’s iconic waterfront—a place where the city’s life and culture come alive. It is a shared dedication of all partners involved in the project that is transforming this vision into a reality. The new Sydney Fish Market is proudly funded by the NSW Government, designed by 3XN Architects in collaboration with BVN Architecture, with #GXN leading the circularity efforts, ASPECT Studios on the landscape design and Multiplex handling the construction.

Transforming architecture — Transforming knowledge 3XN GXN’s Transformation Team visited London last week to tour and learn from some of the capital’s most significant transformation works. While every project is unique, learning from our peers tackling similar challenges and opportunities is invaluable, and this study trip underscored the importance of collaboration in sustainably shaping our cities for the future. We explored landmark projects such as 3 Sheldon Square, 1 Triton Square, Euston Tower, 30 High, Norton Folgate, and Tower Hamlets Town Hall. Each project reflected a shared ethos: 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚.

Preserving heritage and breathing new life into an ancient urban fabric: Palais des Congrès will be a new cultural contribution to the 2000 year old city Nîmes. A well-preserved site with thousands of years of history is itself a source of inspiration, embodying the rich cultural, social and architectural heritage of a region. Working with our valued partners Chabanne, we have drawn deeply on this heritage to create a thoughtful design for the Palais des Congrès in Nîmes. Our approach allows the identity of the site to remain at the forefront, blending its historic roots with a new structure that stands as a respectful and engaging companion - a modern addition that honours the past while looking to the future. Last week, on 6 December, we visited the site with the mayor. It is exciting to see the building take shape in the beautiful ancient city. The project is scheduled for completion in October 2025.   Read the story here: https://lnkd.in/dNwHSrea Learn all about the project here: https://lnkd.in/ev5b6xN7 #Nimes #UrbanTransformation #Heritage #3XN #Chabanne #PalaisDesCongres

We know a low-carbon future is inextricably linked to a circular economy. But where do we start?   It takes innovation, trust, and a long-standing partnership to develop an approach to circularity that contemplates the multiple competing considerations on real projects.   We have been collaborating closely with British Land on their journey to reducing embodied carbon. In the spirit of collaboration, British Land is making its Circular Economy Approach, ‘Full Circle, Full Potential’, accessible to all. This report demystifies circularity and outlines a systemic approach that helps project teams assess and analyse materials and building components for reuse at scale.   British Land and #GXN will break down key insights and approaches from the report in the coming weeks. Until then, have a look at the full guide here: https://lnkd.in/dwyJcWvY   #GXN #BritishLand #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #CarbonTargets #MaterialReuse #Transformation

Tscherninghuset – an 89% upcycled office project by 3XN GXN - receives the prestigious Danish ‘Building of the Year’ award [Årets Byggeri, 2024]. The prize is given to industry's most significant buildings to honor their landmark contributions to society and advances in construction.   This recognition positions Tscherninghuset among exemplary projects, serving as a case that demonstrates the importance of future buildings going beyond innovation to set new standards for development—whether through behavioral design, aesthetics, or collaborative methods.   "𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘦'𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥.

60 Gracechurch Street approved by City of London Corporation!   The project, developed with our partners SELLAR and #ObayashiProperties, was granted planning approval late last week, making it 3XN/GXN's latest London project after The Mark, 65 Crutched Friars, and 2 Finsbury Avenue to get the green light.   “We are thrilled for 60 Gracechurch Street to receive approval,” says Audun Opdal, Senior Partner at 3XN GXN. “This marks another great collaboration with the City of London, and we look forward to continuing the work as we bring this ambitious and future-proofed office project to life.”   The 36-storey 60 Gracechurch Street will sit on the western edge of the City Cluster, providing over 37,000 square metres of A-Grade office space.   The development will also deliver a comprehensive suite of public amenities, evolving how city buildings respond to the Destination City policy. This includes a green, sheltered undercroft space at ground floor, a free-to-access roof garden that offers uninterrupted views looking out westwards over London. The roof garden is supported by a range of public amenities, including a new learning space focused on introducing students to the rich heritage of the city from an unrivalled vantage point.
