Henning Larsen completed The Wave, a residential project on the Vejle Fjord in Denmark, according to the original vision of the practice's late founder. With its five characteristic wave crests, the Wave in Vejle appears as a sculptural icon challenging its location by the bay.
The opening of the building marks the end of an 11-year construction process, which began when Henning Larsen Architects won the project in an invited competition in 2005 with the real estate company Bertel Nielsen as the client. For years just two of the project's five residential towers stood complete, after the 2008 global financial crisis halted construction.
