Eye-catching copper roof in the heart of Aalborg

This building was the official office of Aalborg Trade Guild from 1867 to 1975. The beautiful and historic building has been renovated several times over the years and is previous occupied by Rio Bravo, Kalejdoskop, BIO 5 and others. The street includes restaurants Flammen and Grillen.

Architects BJØRK & MAIGÅRD have revitalised the building, making it a contemporary centrepiece in the urban landscape, where the unique and highly exclusive attic apartments have a magnificent view of the city’s waterfront area, Toldbod Plads and Nytorv. The renovation has respected the building’s historic details, for example, retaining the old Aalborg Trade Guild logo and giving it a new position.

The roof, with access to a balcony, is clad in DS Nordic Click Seam copper – which over time acquires a completely extravagant patina. The copper roof beautifully brings together old craftsmanship traditions and modern architecture in a refined and contemporary interpretation.

DS Stålprofil also supplied the prefabricated copper flashing – customised and ready for installation.
