Future-proofing and modernisation of apartments in Ikast

Nordstern is renovating 138 council homes for BoMidtVest in Ikast.

Divided into four blocks, the homes are being given new kitchens and bathrooms. Residents are being consulted on the selection of materials, giving them the opportunity to put their own personal stamp on their homes.

The refurbishment involves carpentry work and the replacement of floors and ceilings. To improve the indoor climate, we are replacing the insulation and fittings.

For the project, it is paramount to preserve the overall appearance of the buildings, with their red brick, square windows and vertical façade lines. Accordingly, the new brick wall not only looks like the original, it is also constructed on the existing foundation and the exterior thermal envelope. On all four blocks the roofs will be replaced with metal roofing, with a foundation of roof boards and roofing felt.

There will be new outdoor common areas for residents.

During most of the refurbishment process, residents in those blocks affected are being rehoused. During the renovation, the blocks will be occupied by the construction worker while they work in the neighbouring building.

Expected date of completion: Late December 2024.
