The Cornerstone is a combined office and shopping complex. It is located on the edge to the center of Vanløse, Copenhagen, in a fragmented area that consists of small houses, housing blocks, future shopping mall and highrises. Instead of imitating or blending itself into its surrounding, it detaches itself into a building object that creates public space in front, below and behind it. Doing so, it becomes a public landmark that invites people into the developing center of Vanløse. The project is expected to be completed in 2011-12.
