Senior Resort, Østre Havn i Aalborg | C.F. Møller Architects

The former industrial harbour Østre Havn in Aalborg is to be transformed into a new neighbourhood, combining the best of the area's raw industrial identity with a new housing and shopping area. A former DLG plant built in 1925 will be a central part of the transformation plans, attractively situated as it is overlooking the fjord. The idea is to maintain part of the silo plant - namely the basic structure and the highest of the original nine silos - adding 12 new residential storeys, i.e. approx. 70 apartments. The apartments will have large balconies and stunning views of the fjord. The common facilities are in a class of their own with a huge roof terrace, wellness and workshop facilities and a restaurant and cafe at street level. There will also be a series of safety and comfort-related advantages, such as a manned reception and room service. The dwellings are designed for people who want to live right in the heart of the city, at the same time wanting home privacy and part in a community. The dwellings could for example become a senior resort.
