Red Cross Volunteer House is a completed project by COBE for Danish Red Cross designed in 2013 and completed in 2015. It is located in Copenhagen Denmark in a park setting. Its scale is small with a surface of 750 sqm. Key material is wood. Concepts such as stair and extension are explored.
As an extension to the headquarters of Danish Red Cross, the Volunteer House is directly connected to the existing main entrance, thus creating a common entrance to the entire Red Cross. Shaped as a triangle with a spectacular accessible roof surface, the Volunteer House is designed with the ambition to invite people in, and to encourage passersby to enter and explore. The façade gives the building a distinctive architectural expression, making it an iconic building that both relates to and reinterprets its surroundings. The building contains a flexible interior lay-out, making room for both workshops, exhibitions, lectures and much more.
