Nordstens Hus on Hillerød’s pedestrian street is a factory building from 1886 that Frederiksborg Gruppen has converted into a co-working community. The ceilings are built in Hz Plus and Hz Basic and finished with Hz Acoustic Plaster 03 by our partner DK Akustik Øst.
From seed drill factory to co-working community
From 1886 the building at Slotsgade 13-15 was the headquarters of the Nordsten factory, which made seed drills for export worldwide. Today it is restored in cooperation with the National Museum of Denmark, and many original details are kept: exposed beams, ceilings open to the ridge and a framed nineteenth-century ceiling painting.
A seamless ceiling between the beams
Exposed beams and great ceiling heights easily give a long reverberation – a problem in offices, where people have to concentrate and talk to each other alike. The ceilings are built in a combination of Hz Plus 027+ and Hz Basic 007, both finished with Hz Acoustic Plaster 03.
The result is a smooth, seamless surface that settles quietly between the beams and lets the historic details come forward.
Workplaces with room for community
Nordstens Workspace gathers companies in one community. The interior is by HAY among others, and the architectural work is by Møgelhøj Arkitekter.
