The Eye Catching Apartments Made of Steel Structure

This building was designed by C. F. Møller Architects. It was located in Løgten, Denmark.  The actual silo contains staircases and lifts. It also provides the base of a common roof terrace. These apartments are built up upon a steel structure in eye-catching forms which protrude out into the light and the landscape. The unusual structure with its protrusions and displacements provides all of the apartments with generous outdoor spaces, and views of Aarhus Bay and the city itself.

From every apartment we can enjoy sunlight in the morning, mid-day and evening. There’s a new village centre at the foot of the silo. It also has a public space surrounded by a mix-use complex with shops, supermarket and terraced housing, and a green park containing small allotments for the residents. The body of the silo is deliberately left visible on the side of the building facing the new centre. It ensures a continued legibility of the history of the site and acknowledges that these types of structures have an equal validity as rural historical markers as do for instance the church bell-tower.
