Approach

Working with people, technology and business

A Danish background is helpful when dealing with visionary projects. Being a small country, we have always had to think internationally and seek out global potential for our solutions, because our national or regional markets might prove too small a fit. We know that it requires a diverse set of skills and competencies to fully understand how to create true and conceivable value for users of our developed products, systems and services. Design Thinking empowers the ability to connect useful technology with business opportunities – ALWAYS from a human centered perspective – ALSO in BtB markets.

Selected Projects

Næste

Co-Founder 2019 –
Designed and developed by Arch. Niels Jakubiak turning waste into value. We cooperate with all major demolitions companies and RGS Nordic as the biggest waste collector in Denmark for sorting and cleaning wood material to construction components in Næste secondary buildings, such as our sheds. We also make use of different building industry waste material and cut-offs.

InOut

Founder and inventor 2018 –
InOut is an abbreviation of the phrase “being inside – outside”. That’s what you feel in the elegant design of the InOut building system. It has the markets most slender posts and rafters allowing for more glass; more light – and hence the feeling of being inside – outside. Check it out.
