A new shell in the form of Pandeplade roofing sheets in Acorn Brown

At the heart of the new Dalum Papirfabrik district in Odense stands a distinctive building symbolising the area’s transformation: from a busy industrial machine hall into an open and vibrant community centre. Here, where Dalum Papirfabrik once produced paper for the entire country, C.F. Møller Architects has breathed new life into the historic walls. The result is an atmospheric activity centre that serves as a social gathering place for local residents, elegantly bringing past and present together.

The building, which previously housed the factory’s first paper machine, PM1, had become severely dilapidated after many years of use. Today, it features carefully restored brick walls and a new structure that both stabilises and protects the historic building. The large south-facing openings invite daylight inside and create a natural connection between the community within and the surrounding urban space.

For the new roof, the architect selected our Pandeplade 22-270 with design grooves in Acorn Brown and a matt finish. The distinctive steel cladding gives the building a contemporary and robust “shell” that complements the original brick façade beautifully. The combination of warm brown steel and raw brickwork highlights the building’s industrial character and creates an attractive contrast between old and new.

Timeless design with durable steel profiles

With its simple profile and long service life, our Pandeplade 22-270 is an ideal choice for both roofing and façade cladding, particularly for projects where aesthetics and functionality must go hand in hand. The profile’s classic lines complement the building’s overall architectural design, while the strength of the steel ensures resistance to wind and weather.

As part of DS Stålprofil’s product range, the solution is made from Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze steel, meaning that the materials are designed for circular recycling and responsible production. It is proof that excellent craftsmanship, durable materials and historic surroundings can be brought together in a single building project – just as they have been in the new heart of Dalum Paper Mill.
