"It is with a sense of both sadness and curiosity that I bid farewell. For me, it was a great joy to join C.F. Møller in 1991 and then to take over the baton from outgoing partners. I am pleased to have now passed the baton on to new partners in the same way. It has been a tremendous privilege to be part of the company's history as a partner, and I am grateful for it all," says Lone, continuing:

"I am proud of what we have achieved and the projects I have been particularly involved in, from the expansion of the National Gallery of Denmark, which I was involved in winning, developing, and designing, to the Vendsyssel Art Museum, Sølvgades School, and the residential block in Nordhavn, Nordlyset, to more recent projects such as the Scheldezicht residential tower in Antwerp, which promotes social communities, Islands Brygge School, several commercial and residential buildings in Carlsberg City, and Carlsberg's Headquarters in Valby – and most recently, the state-of-the-art large-scale timber construction project, WoodHub, currently under construction in Odense."

WoodHub, in particular, is in many ways a tangible expression of Lone’s drive rooted in social responsibility and sustainability, which has characterized her career and has also earned her numerous positions of trust, such as chair of the State Art Fund's architecture committee and a member of the Danish National Commission for UNESCO, board positions in the Danish Architecture Center, and membership of the Special Building Inspection, and she has been a clear voice both nationally and internationally and internally at C.F. Møller.

Although Lone Wiggers is stepping down from C.F. Møller, she is not leaving the industry to retire. Instead, Lone will partly pursue old interests that there has not been time for during her career as a partner, and the new opportunities the future holds:

"First and foremost, I just need to catch my breath, but I already have some thoughts about spending more time on my interests in history, languages, and our Nordic cultural history, and I am still an architect with plenty of industry knowledge, and including a strong interest in, knowledge of, and experience with timber construction that I look forward to applying in new contexts," says Lone.

100th anniversary
Lone Wiggers steps down from C.F. Møller in a historic year, as the architectural firm celebrates its 100th anniversary since its founding in 1924.

C.F. Møller employs approximately 300 employees and has studios in Aarhus, Copenhagen, Aalborg, Oslo, Stockholm, Malmö, and Berlin.
