Dilapidated garage transforms into UHPC balconies

Hotel Regina's old dilapidated garage, which was torn down in 2007, and which plot has since stood empty is finally getting a new purpose!

The Hotel which is located in the city centre in Aarhus has for many years hoped for a transformation of the the old garage - and what a transformation they got. 

The plot that has been undeveloped since 2007 is being transformed into a building complex of approximately 5 floors with space for 18 residences. 

The apartment building will be equipped with balconies and the building will likewise gain a roof terrace and a grass roof. In addition, the apartments will consist of housing for both students and small families in the city center.
