Noma 2.0

Full Project Description – Noma 2.0
Nestled between two lakes near Christiania, Bjarke Ingels Group has created a truly unique culinary gem. Here, guests are invited to step into a world of taste experiences and a philosophy that defines Noma 2.0. The design process has focused on placing the restaurant’s individual functions at the center. A total of 11 unique spaces have been created, each tailored to meet specific needs and constructed with the finest materials that perfectly align with their purpose. These spaces are carefully arranged around the heart of the restaurant, where the chefs are at the focal point of it all.

Every aspect of the dining experience, from arrival and the lounge to the barbeque area and wine selection, is closely connected to the chefs. From their central position, the chefs have a full overview of every corner of the restaurant, while each guest can follow along with what normally happens behind the scenes.

For this project, our custom-designed glass roof was an ambitious and crucial choice to ensure a symbiosis between indoors and outdoors. Light flows into the restaurant, allowing guests to enjoy the changing seasons and the natural surroundings. Each “building within a building” is connected by glass-covered walkways, which both chefs and guests can traverse to experience the varying weather conditions, daylight, and seasons. This integration of nature is a key element of the culinary experience at Noma 2.0.
