The residential tower at the head of the port city of Aarhus rises a proud 142 metres into the air. It is the tallest residential building in Denmark and a part of the Lighthouse project. With more than 380 apartments across 44 floors, the tower offers living spaces with breath-taking views. The architects from 3XN chose the Schüco USC 65 façade for the design of the façade surface area which totalled around 12,000 m². With its narrow face width on all sides and maximum unit weights, large-scale architecturally appealing façade constructions are possible.

Mix of building types

Alongside the residential tower there is also a group of terraced houses that are a part of the Lighthouse project, as well as two, ten-storey buildings right next to the main tower called the Promenadenhaus (Promenade House) and the Kanalhaus (Canal House). Both were built with a Schüco mullion/transom façade. The mix of different building types emphasises the openness, liveliness and diversity that characterises the project.
