Høje-Taastrup Town Hall is being transformed from an obsolete civic building into a new residential district built on circular principles. Rather than being replaced, the structure from 1980 is adapted into approximately 200 homes, complemented by 130 new townhouses and a 1,500 m² grocery store.

The project demonstrates how large-scale transformation can challenge demolition as the default response. By retaining and adapting the existing structure, the development significantly reduces climate impact while establishing a new urban identity rooted in what is already there.
