NOMA 2.0

A culinary gem that invites light and nature in

Between two lakes near Christiania, Bjarke Ingels Group has created a unique culinary gem. Here, guests are invited to step into a world of flavors and a philosophy that defines Noma 2.0. The design process has focused on placing the individual functions of the restaurant at the center. No less than 11 unique spaces have been created, tailored to meet specific needs and constructed with the finest materials that are perfectly suited to their purpose. These spaces are carefully assembled around the heart of the restaurant, where the chefs are at the center of it all. Every aspect of the restaurant experience, from the arrival and lounge to the grill area and wine selection, is closely connected to the chefs. From their central position, the chefs have a full view of every corner of the restaurant, while each guest can follow what would normally happen behind the scenes.

In the project, our specially designed glass roof was an ambitious and important choice to ensure a symbiosis between inside and outside. Light floods into the restaurant and guests can enjoy the sight of the changing seasons and the natural surroundings around them. Each 'building within a building' is connected by glass-covered walkways that both chefs and guests can follow to experience the changing weather conditions, daylight and seasons. This integration of nature is a crucial element in the culinary experience of visiting Noma 2.0.
