Kornets Hus, the Grain House that spreads Jutland's agri-food culture


Kornets Hus, or Grain House, is the new center that offers visitors, locals, and employees a facility for learning based on the importance of grain, both to Jutland and to human civilization
Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter AS organizes the Kornets Hus building around a simple, flexible floor plan that allows for a wide variety of activities and functions. The architectural form of the cultural center derives from research into the rich Danish landscape, folk culture and agricultural heritage of the region

The center of the structure is defined by its two brick-lined light wells, which reinterpret bakers' ovens. The interior is designed to open up to the vast expanse of wheat fields to the west, framing views outward and opening onto the terrace

Public spaces are centered around a large bread oven, while educational and exhibition spaces feature natural lighting and increased skylight volume
