The design of Saxo Bank takes the bank’s cutting edge profile as its point of departure in exploring the balance between dynamic expression and innovation. Conceived as two logs facing their gable ends to the canal, joined together by a retracted glass facade, the building combines curves and sharp angles in a new interpretation of contemporary seaside architecture. Colours of the sea and the sky in the green glass and white façade elements interchange in the cut-up structure with a lot of X-shapes reminiscent of the letter X in the name of the Bank.
