Natural slate was selected for this major renovation project in Copenhagen, Denmark, which started in 2015 and finished in March 2019. The Hørgården Care Centre was built in 1974 and was ready to be modernised in order to be able to meet the requirements of a modern and well-functioning care centre.
The architecture firm in charge of the project was JJW Arkitekter A/S. Their goal was providing a building where energy consumption meets the requirements of the energy framework 2020, as well as assuring accessibility and equality.
The renovation was a complete success thanks to the close cooperation between the turnkey contractor NCC Danmark A/S, the housing association 3B and the architecture firm JJW Arkitekter A/S.
Nominated to the Procesprisen 2018 award
This care centre renovation was nominated for the Procesprisen 2018 award. An award whose goal is paying tribute to the most innovative projects in the construction industry.
The Hørgården project was nominated because it was a clear example of how close cooperation and focus on transparency from the start can create increased value and better functional solutions.
Natural slate for a sustainable façade renovation
As energy consumption was a key element in this renovation, natural slate seemed like the perfect fit for the façade’s renovation. Our CUPACLAD® rainscreen cladding system is a fantastic cladding alternative that combines efficiency, durability and modernity.
Natural slate in combination with the rainscreen cladding system turns out as one of the most energy efficient and long-lasting cladding solutions, thanks to both the technical properties of natural slate and the great efficiency of rainscreen claddings.
PRODUCT USED: CUPACLAD®
For the renovation of the Hørgården care centre, the selected design was CUPACLAD® 201 VANGUARD. Its elegant and contemporary design makes the building look even more impressive.
