On the former grounds of Carlsberg lies an old boiler house. It was classified as a protected building in 2008, but has since been stripped and is now empty and abandoned. Our project transforms the boiler house into a contemporary house of dance. By building sustainably and working with durable materials, our project merges the old with the new, and gives life and purpose to the old boiler house.
