Højhuset Langenæs

The 55-meter residential tower contains 90 apartments distributed across 15 floors, rising prominently above the Langenæs neighborhood in Aarhus.

Completed in 1971 by Arbejdernes Andels Boligforening housing organization, this structure marked a shift toward vertical residential development in Aarhus during the 1970s.

The building exemplifies Danish modernist architecture through its use of traditional red brick construction, making it one of only two brick high-rises in Denmark.

Residents of the building benefit from direct access to public transportation, local shops, and recreational areas within the Langenæs district.

In 1991, aluminum sheets painted in red were installed as an exterior protective layer to address moisture issues while maintaining the building's appearance.
