The Mærsk Tower extends Panum’s brutalist legacy with a contemporary twist. Featuring 8,000 GRC elements in a subtle grey, the facade blends bold design with architectural harmony.

As an extension of Panum Institute at the University of Copenhagen, the Mærsk Tower reimagines brutalist design for a modern era. Designed by C.F. Møller Architects, the tower’s GRC cladding was carefully chosen to echo the adjacent 1970s buildings while introducing a lighter, more dynamic aesthetic.

With over 8,000 panels spanning 11,000 m², the grey cornices creates a striking interplay of form and texture. Lightweight yet versatile, the GRC elements were crafted in 1,000 unique variants for both external and internal cladding, mounted with hidden fixtures for a seamless look.
