Ongoing transformation of Topsøe's 14,000 m² industrial building

Improvements in the energy balance, natural daylight and the general flexibility of the building have been central to this project. A number of windows in the west façade have been made taller by cutting into the concrete masonry units, providing a view of the surroundings and natural daylight much deeper into the building. In addition, a number of gates have been replaced by glass panels, further improving the distribution of natural daylight, and the existing skylights have been replaced with modern ones, providing the benefits of better insulation. The interior has been kept very simple, enhancing the flexibility of the space. The outer walls have been re-insulated, and both walls and ceilings have been painted white. Some rooms are divided by tall, wall-to-wall glass partitionings to avoid blocking the view in this very deep building and to enhance the cohesion of the space. High-gloss epoxy flooring is used throughout.
