Award for Community or Residential Structures Winner
Elsinore Culture Yard

Structural Designer: Soren Jensen Consulting Engineers

Located in Elsinore, Denmark the project is a conversion of an old shipyard to a new Cultural Yard with library, concert hall and other facilities. The project included complete conversions of two buildings and the addition of a further three.

Essential for the success of the project was the structural assessment and creative reuse of two existing buildings. The new buildings rely in their radical design and fast execution on state-of-the-art structural analysis and fabrication methods.

The resulting architecture is inspiring and has successfully revitalised the formerly derelict site.
