Designed by Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter The Royal Playhouse is unique among many large-scale, recent public projects in that it was delivered under budget and on time while maintaining the architectural vision. The project began in 2002 with the award of first place in an open international competition, construction was complete in 2007, and the playhouse recently celebrating its grand opening in 2008. The Royal Playhouse occupies one of Copenhagen’s most important points of conjuncture, the meeting of the historic 18th century city quarter of Frederiksstaden, the city harbour, and the sea. The playhouse, firmly rooted in the context of its historic neighbourhood, takes its place among the culture institutions along the harbour, marking where the inner harbour angles and opens toward the distant Sound.
