OUTDATED GRAIN SILO TRANSFORMED INTO MODERN HOUSING
In Copenhagen's Nordhavn, an old grain silo has been transformed into modern housing. Free Harbor Tower (Frihavns Tårnet), designed by Praksis Architects, features 11,000 sqm of residential space spread over 12 floors, with ceiling heights ranging from 3 to 3.7 meters and balconies.
For the Free Harbor Tower, Hi-Con supplied 197 balconies, 212 columns, 83 C-frames, 16 L-frames, 18 canopies, 28 facade shells, and 1364 brackets in grey Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) CRC i2®.
"The architects have emphasized preserving the building's historical identity and homogeneous form while adding a modern lightness by surrounding the apartments with large, generous balconies..."
Frihavns Tårnet won the Betonelement Prize 2017 and the Utzon Statuette.
