A ground-breaking approach

Hans Christian Andersen’s House is a museum like no other, bringing together outdoor and indoor interpretation to form a compelling journey through the author's life and stories. We were selected to develop a narrative concept that drove the architectural competition, which was subsequently awarded to Kengo Kuma. We went on to deliver the project from planning through to exhibition design and delivery. Our team led and worked collaboratively with an ensemble of creatives, ranging from AV specialists to artists, authors and composers, to create this awe-inspiring experience.
