An industrial Warehouse in a New Guise
Originally built in 1947 for storing coffee and goods along Nordhavn’s waterfront, Pakhus 47 has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern workplace that balances industrial heritage with contemporary needs. Rather than opting for demolition, the project retains and adapts the existing structure—preserving materials such as concrete, brick, steel, and timber—providing a textured backdrop for new interventions that support current functional and environmental standards.
The transformation reflects how a once single-purpose warehouse can evolve into a mixed-use environment, where flexible workspaces sit alongside public functions such as a restaurant and conference centre - additions that help reconnect the building with its urban context, creating a setting that supports both community and productivity.
The raw character of the original concrete and steel structure is complemented by contemporary transparent glass volumes and adaptable interiors, supporting collaborative work and responding to changing needs. Considerations such as natural light, acoustics, and air quality have been carefully integrated to promote well-being in the workplace.
Pakhus 47 offers an example of how existing buildings can be repurposed to meet future demands while respecting their history. By combining preservation with practical updates, the project demonstrates that architectural transformation can be a meaningful process—one that builds on the past to create spaces that are both relevant and resilient.
