Turning an old silo into high-rise apartments

Image
Danish architectural firm COBE Architects is turning an old silo in Copenhagen into modern housing. The silo is located in Nordhavnen, an old harbor district in Copenhagen. In recent years, Nordhavnen has undergone redevelopment, with the district’s texture going from old industrial buildings to housing, cafés and public plazas. One of the philosophies guiding the urban development plan, involves the preservation of some of those old industrial buildings. The Silo is a 67 yard-long, 17-story-tall corn silo that will eventually house 40 high-rise apartments. Because of the floor-to-floor spatial variations that were necessary to handle grain in the past, all the apartments will be very different. In addition to the apartments, The Silo will also host public functions on the top and bottom floors. The top floor will feature a restaurant, sky bar and conference area, while a public exhibition space is located on the bottom floor. Shop Modern Furniture>

THE Danish HOT DOG

Image
The first thing I’m going to eat when I get back to Denmark on my next buying trip is a hot dog, known as Polser in Denmark. The Danish Hot Dog is a natural casing wiener, dyed bright red. Cooked on a flat grill, the extra-long dogs extend far beyond the boundaries of the bun, and are topped with crunchy fried onions, raw onions, thinly sliced pickles, and your choice of sauces ranging from mustard to ketchup or remoulade. The dogs themselves are made from pork, and a touch more flavorful than their American cousins. The Danes are crazy about their hot dogs and so am I. If you ever get a chance have a Danish Polser and you decide. Shop Dining Rooms>
