The building

VMK - Academy of Music and Music Communication is situated in Denmark's ffifth largest city with approximately 80,000 inhabitants; the academy is housed in beautiful old buildings and takes a very active part in the city's rich cultural life.

Esbjerg's first electricity station, built in 1907, has been transformed into a modern, fully functional music academy. Architecturally speaking, it is a shining example of the successful transformation of an old building. The restoration work has been carried out with dignity and respect, and there has been deliberate play on the contrast between rough and finished materials. Thus, modern glass and steel constructions rise to challenge the railway sleepers and massive cranes of a bygone era. The addition of one and a half floors to the teaching wing, an advanced ventilation plant, inserted floors in connection with the library, working with sound and insulation - these were but some of the challenges that faced the architect and the craftsmen as the work progressed.
The old machine hall of the generating station, where the original lacunar ceiling has been preserved, has today been transformed into one of the best concert halls in Denmark.
