The team receives the award in recognition of both the collaboration and the quality of construction. Additionally Ulrik Støttrup-Andersen of Danish Steel Institute, stated in the reason for awarding the project, that The Blue Planet visually is very well executed and that the project ranges from the advanced to the simple, which is expressed by the relatively simple solutions used for the complex requirements, the architecture actually demands.
