The Silo is a 65-meter (213 foot) apartment building converted from a former grain silo located in Nordhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark.[1] The 17-storey structure was completed in May 2017[2] and houses 39 apartments, a restaurant and lookout platform.[2] The building was designed by the Copenhagen-based Cobe architectural firm, and was completed in 2017.[1]
Background
The Silo is a part of the transformation of Copenhagen's Nordhaven (meaning North Harbour) from an industrial development into a new city district.[2] Construction required the former grain silo's concrete facade to be upgraded and recladded, the interior of the silo was preserved as much as possible.[2] The apartments housed in The Silo range from 106m² to 401m² in size, with floor heights up to 7 meters, and include floor to ceiling windows and balconies.
