Bækkebo is a project to convert an unused seniors’ house in Haverslev (Denmark) into ordinary apartments.

The building and surroundings bear the signs of its former use as an elderly centre and of many years of wear and tear.


Njordrum’s proposal aims to improve the aesthetic and functionality of the existing building:

  • The entrances towards Vestbyvej, which are currently back entrances, are being turned into proper entrances by framing them with wood and adding new windows to get more transparency.
  • Corridor areas, which currently have very neutral expressions, are being turned into common spaces with entrance niches to the apartment.

I Live Here


Corridor areas are transformed so that each individual resident has his own front yard/transition zone between the private home and the common corridor area.
The transition zones are processed to give them an individual touch. This reduces the institutional feel and the resident gets a feeling of “I live here”.
