施密特·哈默·拉森(Schmidt锤Lassen)的合伙人金霍斯特·詹森(Kim Holst Jensen)解释说：“这栋建筑在工地上独立自主，是一种透明的、几何的、玻璃化的形式，它只停留在一个点和一条线上，在广场上方漂浮着一种视觉上轻盈、晶莹剔他继续说：“这座建筑和广场的设计是相互作用的，也是为了与周围的城市互动。”

“Freestanding on the site, the building reads as a transparent, geometrical, glazed form which, resting only on a single point and a single line, floats as a visually light, crystalline structure above the plaza,” explained Partner Mr Kim Holst Jensen of schmidt hammer lassen architects. He continued: “The building and the plaza are designed to interact with each other and with the surrounding city.”

在形式和规模上，该建筑物介于城市和海港之间，与邻近的建筑物协调一致。在南面，它是参照“象屋”的山墙顶上升起的，并为正门创造了空间。从帕加德萨加德和汉布罗旅的拐角处，建筑物下面的通道可以清晰地看到Nykredit的总部大楼和港口。

In terms of both form and scale, the building is intermediate between the city and the harbour, and harmonises with neighbouring buildings. On the southern side, it rises with reference to the gable apex of the “Elephant House” and creates space for the main entrance. From the corner of Puggardsgade and Hambrosgade, the passage under the building allows a clear view towards Nykredit’s head office building and the harbor.

建筑内部符合对功能、灵活性和效率的要求。典型的平面图布置在两个中庭周围的Z字形上，确保所有的工作站都有良好的照明和景观。该计划的处理可以容纳一个开放的计划，单独的办公室或会议室。构成建筑结构体系的大型三维钢结构在释放立柱结构的同时，发挥了建筑元素的作用，创造了办公空间的最大灵活性。

The interior of the building complies with the demands for functionality, flexibility and efficiency. The typical floor plan is disposed in a Z-shape around two atria, ensuring that all workstations are well lit and enjoy a view. The disposition of the plan allows the accommodation of an open plan, separate offices or meeting rooms. The large three-dimensional steel structure constituting the building’s constructive system functions as an architectural element while at the same time freeing the building of columns, creating maximum flexibility in the office spaces.

双层玻璃幕墙集成了太阳能屏幕，并以微妙的丝屏装饰，减轻了太阳的进入，反射了日光，并给建筑提供了一种统一的表达方式，增强了它的雕塑形式。

The double-glazed façade has integrated solar screens and is decorated by a subtle silk screen frit design that mitigates solar ingress, reflects daylight, and gives the building a homogenous expression which enhances its sculptural form.

金·霍斯特·詹森(Kim Holst Jensen)说：“水晶设计的建筑理念受到了大自然迷人的形状、场地的前提和潜力的启发。”“这座建筑与传统的商业建筑不同，它是一座精巧的雕塑，从下面的广场升起。”

“The architectural idea of The Crystal’s design is inspired by the fascinating shapes of nature, the premises and the potential of the site,” said Kim Holst Jensen. “The building distinguishes itself from traditional commercial buildings by being a precise sculpture rising elegantly from the plaza underneath.”

设计团队对该项目所依据的环境战略采取了全面的做法。该计划设法将一栋完全透明的办公楼与每平方米70千瓦时的低能耗结合起来，这意味着该建筑物的能耗比现行能源立法规定的能耗低25%。屋顶上覆盖着高效的光伏电池板，每年发电8万千瓦时。此外，三层内玻璃外墙提供非常有效的隔热，U值仅为每平方米0.7瓦时。

The design team has brought a holistic approach to the environmental strategy underlying the project. The scheme manages to combine a completely transparent office building with an exceptionally low energy-consumption at 70 kWh per sqm, which means that the building consumes 25 per cent less energy than the requirements of the existing energy legislation. The roof is covered with highly efficient photovoltaic panels generating 80,000 kWh per year. In addition, the triple-layered inner glass façade provides extremely effective thermal insulation, with a U-value of only 0.7 Wh per sqm.
