Nakskov Court Building
The Nakskov Court Building and Jail were originally designed by L. Larsen in 1919 and are considered a heritage building. In 1965, an extension, a connecting building structure, was designed by Alex Poulsen Architects. The energy renovation of the courthouse included the replacement of secondary frames with energy glass, as well as the replacement and optimization of the lighting control system. The original lightweight facades of the extension were replaced during the renovation with new glass and aluminum constructions, which met the energy requirements defined by the Building Regulations in 2010.

Respect for the heritage
Under construction of the original connecting structure and in the energy renovation project, the projects were developed with respect for the cultural heritage. In particular, the heritage-listed part of the building was energy-renovated with great care.
Energy renovation
The energy renovation was carried out on the main building as well as the intermediate extension. The new facades were designed with the aim of maintaining references to the original 1960s architecture, thereby preserving the original expression.
