This project explores the function-stripped coffee production tower of Irmabyen. A pioneer of industrial architecture in Denmark, inspired by the American modernist high-rise tradition. My aim is to make a transformation that serves as a catalyst for activities, culture, and communities. The architectural narrative seeks to generate a new awareness of the building as a center point for Rødovre.
