WE ARE
Grönlandet is a privately owned property with several tenants. It is an historical building designed by architect Sigurd Lewerentz.
Sustainability at Grönlandet is crucial and includes all within the property, the working environment, the food that is served and the service provided. The property has the highest possible energy rating for an old building in use (culturally marked). We recover heat and optimize the ventilation system. We only have LED lights and buy green electricity.
- We have our own cafe – Nuuk where all food is cooked. We take care of left over fruit and use for juices or in baking. Mondays are only green on the menu.
- Compost machine which transforms food waste to soil in 24 hours.
- Small beehive and pollinating plants. Produce a limited edition of honey every year.
- All tenants are offered free ecological coffee/tea, milk and fruit.
- Recycling on all floors and a recycling room by the reception for larger pieces.
- Updates of furnitures are mostly made with preloved items.
HISTORY
Lewerentz won a competition in 1928 with the commission of drawing a new office for The former National Insurance Institute. Since 1995 the building is culturally marked and protected according to the Cultural Environment Act with the aim of preserving it forever.
