refurbishment of 1950's water tower as student housing, jægersborg, near copenhagen, denmark. architects: dorte mandrup arkitekter 2004 (limited competition) - 2006 (completed)

student flats with shared facilities on every floor, kindergarten on ground level and first floor. the water tank remains in use as it did throughout construction.

the project was "design and build" which is just about the worst thing an architect can get involved in and the budget was a joke, but this only adds to the succes of the completed building.
