The presence of a restaurant at the top of the tower makes the building less isolated despite its location in the city’s port. The idea of renovating all the silos rather than demolishing them is a sustainable choice, primarily because it prevents the need to dispose of large quantities of rubble while preserving the look of the cityscape, with an urban look which is both provocative and surprising in this context.ģ8 apartments of various different sizes were created, the smallest of which measures only 106 m2, while the largest is 401. The city of Copenhagen has a new look in an area formerly dedicated to commerce and industry in the city’s port, preventing the need for large-scale demolition typical of other urban sites where industrial buildings have been converted. Cobe has converted a grain silo on the northern side of the port of Copenhagen into an apartment building, preserving its characteristic concrete internal structures while accentuating its size with a modular galvanised steel façade.
