Architecture leaves a lasting mark. When we work with existing buildings, we take on a responsibility – for the resources, for our architectural heritage, and for creating solutions that stand the test of time. Transformation is about breathing new life into the built environment and identifying new purposes for structures that no longer meet current needs. It demands insight, care and a long-term perspective on climate, economy and social value.
UdforskIndustrial Test Center Unites Facades for Anhydro A/S

APV, Anhydro Test Centre
Søborg, Denmark
Gottlieb Paludan Architects designed a test centre with a unifying façade concept for industrial supplier Anhydro.
The main compositional motif is the continuous surface that envelops and includes the different old and new volumes of the complex into one homogeneous façade concept.
The building complex is covered in horizontal strips of vertically positioned aluminium sinus sheets that change colour according to light conditions and the weather. The façades are divided into sections by horizontal, extruded aluminium profiles.

Extensions to the test centre fit around an existing structure which is made up of two wings, built around a connecting corridor and an installation passage, and a tower which houses technical installations.
Anhydro A/S supplies technical equipment to various industries. The test centre, which comprises administration, test rooms and workshops together with related service facilities, is situated in Søborg north of Copenhagen.
