The residential tower at the top of the harbour city of Aarhus rises into the air to an impressive height of 142 metres. 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.

In addition to the residential tower, the Lighthouse project also comprises a group of terraced houses and two 10-storey buildings directly adjacent to the main tower – known as Promenade House and the Canal House. Both were executed using a Schüco mullion/transom façade. The mix of different building types emphasises the openness, liveliness and diversity that characterises the project. 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.
