Nyborg Police Station
The police station was built in 1920 as Nyborg Court and Detention House and was designed by architect August Colding. The building features red brick facades and a tiled roof and is located on the banks of Nyborg Slotssø directly opposite Nyborg Castle. APA served as the lead consultant on the project in all phases, from programming to the final handover of the completed construction of the extension and renovation.

Transformation
The former detention wing has been converted into an office wing, where the panoptic space has been preserved in its full height, and the smaller cell windows have been enlarged to usable windows for office use. To further optimize the working conditions, artist Hjørdis Haack has colorized the surfaces and created paintings for the building.
In beautiful surroundings
The restoration and renovation of the buildings have been carried out in accordance with the potential of the house and its location. This is evident in the windows' function as a connection between the inside and outside, framing the surrounding nature and providing the basis for the entry of daylight into the building.
