The Transformation of ObelHus: From Tobacco Factory to Modern Eco-labeled Housing
On Strandvejen in Aalborg, Denmark, C.F. Møller Architects has transformed an iconic industrial building from 1938 into modern apartments, focusing on climate-friendliness, reuse, and respect for the building's history. Known as ObelHus, the project marks a milestone as the first Nordic Swan Ecolabeled renovation in Jutland.
The transformation of ObelHus was guided by a vision to create homes that meet contemporary climate standards while honouring the building's cultural heritage. The property features ventilation with heat recovery to reduce energy consumption and promote a healthy indoor climate. It combines recycled materials and new sustainable solutions, such as insulation made from recycled glass and facades free of harmful biocides.
