Text description provided by the architects. Situated between two lakes and within the community of
Christiania, the new Noma is built on the site of a protected ex-military warehouse once used to store
mines for the Royal Danish Navy. Imagined as an intimate culinary garden village, guests are welcomed
to experience a new menu and philosophy that will redefine Noma for years to come. Save

Central to the design was the idea of dissolving the restaurant’s individual functions and organising them
into a collection of separate yet connected buildings. A total of 11 spaces, each tailored to their specific
needs and built of the finest materials best suited for their functions, are densely clustered around
restaurant’s heart putting the chefs at the heard of it all. Every part of the restaurant experience - the
arrival, the lounge, the barbeque, the wine selection and the private company - are all clustered around
the chefs. From their central position, they have a perfect overview to every corner of the restaurant
while allowing every single guest to follow what would traditionally happen behind-the-scenes.

The 40-cover dining room and adjacent private dining room are made of stacked timber planks that
resemble neatly piled wood at a lumber yard. A large skylight and an expansive set of windows that slide
to reveal the outdoor permagarden allow guests to truly sense all of the seasons and the restaurant’s
natural surrounds. Outside, the restaurant’s three greenhouses are used as a garden, test kitchen and
bakery.

Each ‘building within the building’ is connected by glass covered paths for chefs and guests to follow the
changes in weather, daylight and seasons - making the natural environment an integral part of the
culinary experience. Guests have the opportunity to walk through each of the surrounding buildings and
to experience a variety of Nordic materials and building techniques: the barbecue is a giant walk-in hut,
and the lounge looks and feels like a giant, cozy fireplace made entirely of brick inside and out.
