The Silo是哥本哈根Nordhavn（北港）改造的一部分–一个巨大的后工业发展区，目前正被改造成一个新的城市区。由丹麦建筑师COBE与客户Klaus Kastbjerg和NRE丹麦共同设计，一个17层高的前粮仓和该地区最大的工业建筑已被改造成 “筒仓”，容纳住宅公寓和公共功能。

The Silo is part of the transformation of Copenhagen’s Nordhavn (North Harbour) – a vast post-industrial development, currently being transformed into a new city district. Designed by Danish architects COBE with clients Klaus Kastbjerg and NRE Denmark, a 17-storey former grain silo and the largest industrial building in the area has been transformed into “The Silo”, housing residential apartments and public functions.

由内向外的改造
为了使筒仓的工业混凝土外墙达到目前的标准，现有筒仓的外部已被重新包覆，而内部则尽可能地保留了原始和未触及的状态。一个由镀锌钢制成的棱角分明的外墙已被安装，以作为一个石灰盾牌。这使得该建筑特有的纤细高大的形状得以保持。

Inside-out transformation
In order to bring The Silo’s industrial concrete facade up to current standards, the exterior of the existing silo has been reclad, while the interior has been preserved as raw and untouched as possible. An angular faceted exterior facade made of galvanized steel has been installed to serve as a limate shield. This has allowed the building’s characteristic slender tall shape to be maintained.

COBE的创始人和创意总监Dan Stubbergaard说：”我们希望尽可能地保留筒仓的精神–无论是它的整体外观还是雄伟的混凝土内部，只需给它披上一层新的外衣。我们的目标是由内而外地改造它，使它的新居民和周围的城市生活能够突出该结构的特性和遗产。因此，使用镀锌钢做外墙，以原始的方式进行修补，保留了原有的港口特征和材料感觉，给这个地区带来了粗糙和原始的美感，就像其工业化的过去一样。”

Dan Stubbergaard, Founder and Creative Director of COBE, says: “We wanted to retain the spirit of The Silo as much as possible – both in terms of its monolithic exterior and majestic concrete interior, by simply draping it with a new overcoat. The aim was to transform it from the inside out in such a way that its new inhabitants and the surrounding urban life would highlight the structure’s identity and heritage. Hence, the use of galvanized steel for the facade, which patinates in a raw way and retains the original harbour character and material feel, lending a roughness and raw beauty to the area, as in its industrial past.”

38套独特的公寓
由于储存和处理粮食的各种功能，原始筒仓内的空间变化是巨大的，为38套独特的公寓创造了空间。单层和多层公寓的面积从106平方米到401平方米不等，楼层高度可达7米。所有的公寓都有全景式的落地窗和阳台，有几间公寓还保留了原始混凝土。窗框隐藏在现有混凝土墙的外面，提供了城市天际线和奥勒松海岸的广阔视野。

38 unique apartments
The spatial variation within the original silo is immense due to the various functions of storing and handling grain, creating space for 38 unique apartments. Single and multi-level apartments range from 106 m2 to 401 m2 in size, with floor heights of up to 7 meters. All apartments have panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies, and several have been preserved in raw concrete. The window frames are hidden on the outside of the existing concrete walls, offering expansive views of the city skyline and the Oresund coast.

私人和公共功能的混合
顶层和底层都有公共通道。顶层由一个镜面玻璃盒组成，里面是一个公共餐厅，可以360度欣赏到城市和大海的景色。白天，玻璃外墙与周围的环境相映成趣，而到了晚上，它又让人想起了灯笼。底层被设计成一个灵活的活动空间。

A mix of private and public functions
Both the top and lower levels have public access. The top floor consists of a mirrored glass box housing a public restaurant with a 360-degree view of the city and the sea. The glass facade mirrors the surroundings in the daytime, and at night it is reminiscent of a lantern. The ground floor is designed as a flexible event space.

Dan Stubbergaard说：”私人住房和公共功能确保了该建筑全天保持活跃。顶部和底部的公共功能也确保了建筑的不同用户的多维体验。从顶部你可以在一个全景中看到几乎所有的哥本哈根。这是完全独特的，所有哥本哈根人都将有机会体验。筒仓将是有人居住的，但也将是一个目的地。Nordhavn的新开发项目的城市焦点”。

Dan Stubbergaard says: “Private housing and public functions ensure that the building remains active all day. The public functions at the top and bottom also ensure a multidimensional experience for the various users of the building. From the top you can see almost all of Copenhagen in one panoramic view. It is completely unique, and something all Copenhageners will have the chance to experience. The Silo will be inhabited, but will also be a destination. An urban focal point for the new development at Nordhavn.”

Dan Stubbergaard继续说道。”通过振兴我们的工业遗产，我们发现了新的潜力，并突出了我们城市中的历史痕迹。它们代表了一种建筑资源。它们代表了我们的历史。通过这样做，我们可以把今天许多人认为是工业垃圾的东西变成宝藏。”

Dan Stubbergaard continues: “By revitalizing our industrial heritage, we discover new potential and highlight historical traces in our cities. They represent a built resource. They represent our history. By doing so, we can transform what many people today perceive as industrial trash into treasure.”

筒仓于2017年5月完工，当时它的第一批居民搬了进去。剩下的住户将在未来几个月内搬入，顶层的餐厅将在今年晚些时候开业。CPH城市与港口发展公司目前正在大楼底层展示一个关于Nordhavn未来发展计划的展览，该展览也是由COBE制作的。

The Silo was completed in May 2017, when its first residents moved in. The remaining residents will move in during the next couple of months, and the restaurant on the top floor is due to open later this year. CPH City & Port Development is currently showing an exhibition on the ground floor of the building on the future development plans for Nordhavn, also created by COBE.
