Arkitekturen sætter varige spor. Når vi arbejder med eksisterende bygninger, bærer vi et ansvar – for ressourcerne, for vores bygningskultur og for at skabe løsninger, der kan holde i mange år. Transformation handler om at bringe nyt liv til det bestående og finde nye funktioner til bygninger, der har udtjent deres oprindelige formål. Det kræver omtanke, faglig indsigt og et langsigtet blik på både klima, økonomi og samfundsmæssig værdi.

Dagmarhus
Copenhagen, Denmark
Gottlieb Paludan Architects have been the architects behind the transformation of Dagmarhus on Rådhuspladsen in Copenhagen. The historic building now houses a 238-room hotel with bar, dining and conference facilities on a new penthouse floor.
Dutch hotel chain citizenM and Danish hotel owner Claus Hildebrandt have opened a hotel in the historic Dagmarhus on Rådhuspladsen. Gottlieb Paludan Architects have architected the transformation of the former office building into a modern design hotel in collaboration with citizenM's stakeholders, suppliers and interior designers.
GPA has realized citizenM's brand standards and special design requirements within the framework of the Danish building regulations and the building's architecture and constructions.

From administration building to hotel in harmony with history and urban environment
The conversion from administration building to hotel has been done with great respect for the building's history and the surrounding urban environment. The Dagmar Theater cinema, which has existed since 1939, will also remain in its current premises. Thus, all changes and modernization of facades have been carried out in the same materials and expression as the existing ones.
The hotel has an entrance and lobby on the ground floor, hotel rooms from the 1st to 6th floor.
A new, secluded dining and viewing floor in the same architectural idiom on the 7th floor.
