COMPREHENSIVE FACADE RENOVATION

Sorgenfrivang II in Denmark is a notable concrete structure built in the late 1950s, representing a prominent landmark in the area. Framed by concrete profiles, the balconies protrude and help create the buildings' recognizable facade and the backbone of the facade motif.

Over the course of four years, Sorgenfrivang II underwent a massive renovation that included the renovation of the building's facades, including its balconies.

BALCONY SOLUTION IN UHPC

Upon completion of the renovation of the historically significant building, it included 377 parapet balconies in Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) across three variations, totaling approximately 2,400 m2.

The 700 mm high parapets are integrated into the balconies. The balcony slabs measure down to 85 mm in thickness and are cast in gray CRC i2®.

DGNB-CERTIFIED

Hi-Con is proud to have been involved in a renovation project where sustainability has been the cornerstone of the overall plan. This project marks the first renovation in Denmark to achieve DGNB Gold certification.
