NCC Construction A/S
Location
Lyngby, Denmark
The three residential towers of Sorgenfrivang II underwent a full renovation, featuring 13,000 GRC elements that modernize the facades while preserving their original architectural qualities, becoming the first DGNB Gold renovation in Denmark.

Sorgenfrivang II’s three 15-story residential towers, built in the late 1950s, have long been landmarks in Lyngby. Their comprehensive renovation, designed by DOMUS Architects, included new balconies and updated facades to align with modern standards.

BB fiberbeton delivered approximately 13,000 GRC elements, spanning 20,000 m², in both white and light grey. These 12 mm-thick elements were mounted using the tailored FA1000®-system and other concealed solutions, preserving the buildings’ distinct columns and beams. Certified DGNB Gold and winner of the GRCA GRC2023 Award, this project sets a benchmark for sustainable and elegant renovations.
