CLOSE TO THE CITY, THE FJORD, AND CULTURE

The Eastern Port of Aalborg in Denmark, once an industrial area, has undergone a remarkable transformation into an attractive and welcoming residential and urban district. This transformation has created a modern neighborhood where the industrial past merges with contemporary housing needs. With the fjord as its closest neighbor, the area is now characterized by architectural buildings and a vibrant harbor environment, offering a dynamic setting for both residents and visitors.

The newest additions to The Eastern Port of Aalborg are Aksholm and Kulturrækken—two modern residential buildings where the view brings the fjord and city up close. Both projects, designed by C.F. Møller Architects, continue the architectural style that defines the area. Like many of the harbor’s distinctive buildings, Aksholm and Kulturrækken are equipped with Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) balconies from Hi-Con, combining sleek design with durability and aesthetics.

What is Ultra High Performance Concrete?

BALCONY SOLUTIONS IN ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE

At Aksholm, residents enjoy one of Aalborg’s most breathtaking views and optimal sun exposure throughout the day. Each apartment is equipped with one or more private balconies, seamlessly integrated into the building’s architecture. The balconies are slightly recessed to provide shelter and protection from wind and weather—without compromising the magnificent view of the fjord and city life.

Made from Ultra High Performance Concrete, these balconies combine a light and slim aesthetic with long-term durability. They feature wooden floors and modern glass railings, adding a sleek and exclusive touch.

At Kulturrækken, all residents also have access to their own Hi-Con balcony or terrace. Many of the balconies overlook the building’s green courtyard, creating a pleasant atmosphere and a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

UHPC WAS THE PERFECT SOLUTION

This is not the first time Hi-Con has collaborated closely with A. Enggaard A/S and C.F. Møller on construction projects in The Eastern Port of Aalborg. Thanks to a strong partnership and mutual trust, we were involved early in the process—an essential factor in delivering the best possible solution.

It quickly became clear that we could meet the architect’s and contractor’s requests for large elements for the high-rise buildings. Additionally, we supplied beams and wall elements with pre-applied brick cladding, allowing seamless integration into the construction without extra time spent on-site.

For these projects, Hi-Con has delivered 84 balconies in 10 different variations, 56 beams, each 600 mm high, for placement near balconies, and 28 wall elements in 3 different widths, up to 5000 mm in length.
