In the "Nordhavn" in Copenhagen, a worn out grain silo has been rebuilt into modern housings. "Frihavns Tårnet" is drawn by Praksis Arkitekter and has a living area of 11.000 kvm, which are spread on 12 floors with 3 - 3,7 meters to the ceiling and large balconies. The project has recently won the Concrete element price 2017 (Betonelement Prisen) and the Utzon statue.
Hi-Con has supplied the project with 197 balconies, 212 columns, 83 C-frames, 16 L-frames, 18 canopies, 28 facade shells and 1364 brackets in grey CRC i2® high performance concrete.
