Mineralvandhuset in Carlsberg Byen,
Copenhagen (DK)

In Denmark, Entasis and its team of architects play a leading role when it comes to sustainable urban planning, including planning for the repurposing of the derelict industrial site of the Carlsberg Group in Copenhagen. In the years ahead, a new city quarter for work, training and leisure will be created on the 19 hectare site with listed factory buildings, including the villa of company founder Jacob Christian Jacobsen.

The ‘Mineralvandhuset’ is located in the historic centre of the Carlsberg Byen district and will be converted into 49 residential units consisting of two-room apartments, family apartments, penthouse apartments and studio apartments on one and a half levels in line with the designs of Dorte Mandrup Architects from Copenhagen. The building is expected to be completed in December 2020.

Protected by the HENSOTHERM® concrete fire protection system
In order to improve the fire resistance time of the concrete components due to the lack of reinforcement cover after the renovation of the historic building, it has been retrofitted with the water-based fire protection system HENSOTHERM® 820 KS (European Patent No. 2686391) into the fire resistance class up to R240.

The particularly robust properties of the HENSOTHERM® concrete fire protection system make it also suitable for use in areas with high emissions, such as in underground car parks and parking garages.

The BETON CARBONSPERRE primer that forms part of the system also provides protection against the ingress of pollutants and water.
