Seniors find a new community under a steel roof
In the heart of Otterup lies Seniorhuset, a place where pensioners and early retirees gather for activities that strengthen community bonds and enhance quality of life. Here, there is room for exercise, networking, and plenty of laughter – all under a roof made of DS Nordic Click Seam 475.
The building was designed by Architect Arne Birk, with the intention of blending seamlessly into the existing houses along Otterup’s main street. Inside, the house buzzes with life. Seniors from across the municipality meet here for everything from group gymnastics to board games and lectures. The aim is to create a meaningful everyday life, preventing social isolation through interaction and shared activities.
Outside, the red wooden facade welcomes visitors alongside the red steel roof made of DS Nordic Click Seam 475, which creates an elegant contrast with its clean lines and concealed fixings. The vertical lines of the steel profiles give the building a modern expression, while the red colour highlights that this is a place for play and social interaction.
Sleek design with strong properties
DS Nordic Click Seam is both an attractive and practical choice for roof cladding, as the long vertical lines and concealed fastening create a streamlined and sophisticated appearance. The robust steel profiles withstand gusts of wind up to hurricane force and require minimal maintenance, making them both a durable and stylish choice.
The versatility of the profiles means they can be easily combined with other materials on both roofs and facades. For example, they form a beautiful interplay with a wide range of materials such as brick, wood, and slate, giving the building's facade a modern yet timeless look.
