Form meets function
Lauritzen believed that every element of a building should serve both function and beauty. Rooted in the principles of 1930s functionalism, his designs were always created with their purpose in mind.
“We had to find a design language that, in an honest way, met all of the requirements for the building’s function.”
Many of his projects were conceived as gesamtkunstwerks — total works of art in which he designed both exterior and interior, down to the finest details.
