Description:
The renovation and remodelling of a centrally located 1906 Art Nouveau commercial building, to retain its original qualities while modernising its facilities. It was the first Danish bulding to feature a curtain wall and one of the few to retain its Jugendstyle appearance. The building was in a state of serious disrepair but it has now been returned to its former glory and serves as an office building and also includes a guest flat for visiting architecture professors.
