International Danish food company Danish Crown’s new headquarters has just been completed in Randers, Denmark. The 13,000 square metre complex comprises offi ces, meeting rooms, fi tness centre, show kitchen, canteen and break-out areas. Designed by CEBRA Architecture, the interior maximises natural daylight and focuses on a healthy indoor climate and healthy materials. As part of the scheme for materials in natural tones and hard surfaces, Troldtekt acoustic panels were also specifi ed for all the ceilings to ensure good acoustics and a comfortable sound environment for the many employees throughout the building. There are different variants of Troldtekt acoustic panels throughout the building. The award-winning ‘Troldtekt®
line’
from the design solutions range, in a natural fi nish, blends harmoniously with the brickwork in the many open areas, walkways and offi ces. Mikkel Frost, architect and partner at CEBRA Architecture, commented: “Troldtekt line was a perfect match for the broken bond brickwork, while at the same time creating a good acoustic environment. The natural colour also matches the brick, so it was a bit of a no-brainer for us”.

“Advanced’s ability to provide a full package of panels, graphics and special-build service is why we have been specifying and installing their equipment for over 10 years. The MxPro 5 panels provide a powerful platform, comprehensive cause and effect functions, fast network and user-friendly controls and were the ideal solution for 5 Aldermanbury Square.
Their backwards compatibility enabled us to upgrade the system overnight while maintaining essential fire protection throughout the refurbishment – no easy feat!”
