In 2007 Hi-Con A/S produced a total of 145 balcony slabs in white CRC for Ørestadshuset - close to Fields and the airport in Copenhagen. All balconies are cantilevered and the CRC - with a thickness of about 100 mm - wraps around to provide side bannisters as well as a roof to the balcony. In most cases the "roof" is quite short, but on 15 of the top floor balconies the roof runs for the whole length of the balcony. The balcony slabs are fixed at the facade and tension forces are carried by threaded bars fastened to inserts in the sides of the balconies.
Builder/owner on the project is Sjælsø Gruppen, contractor was Myhlenberg A/S, while architects were Lundgaard & Tranberf Arkitektfirma A/S and engineering advisors were Rambøll A/S.
