SKOLEPARKEN

Originally designed by architect Jørgen Bo in 1958, the estate is a notable example of mid-century residential architecture with strong heritage value. The project focused on upgrading the buildings to meet contemporary standards while preserving their architectural identity. The renovation retained the original material language, characterised by plastered white surfaces, black timber elements, rhythmic window compositions, and dark felt roofing.

The functionality of the existing buildings was upgraded to meet current requirements for residential comfort and performance. All homes were refurbished with new kitchens and bathrooms, alongside improved daylight conditions and indoor climate.

The project was carried out with a focus on maintaining the historical character of the estate while integrating new housing that complements the original design. A key challenge was to sensitively adapt the buildings to contemporary demands for space, energy performance, accessibility, and environmental quality.

The project was delivered within the framework of the National Building Fund (Landsbyggefonden, LBF) and included energy upgrades to 2015 Danish standards. Measures included low-energy windows, insulated façades and roofs, mechanical ventilation systems, and a comprehensive rainwater management strategy (LAR).
