Peak-Load Plant KLC2 - a peak and reserve load plant designed by Gottlieb Paludan Architects to supply in the event of district heating breakdown or extremely cold weather AND the first building thousands of visitors arriving to Copenhagen sees every day.
The design of the plant makes a feature of the roof, capitalizing on the fact that every day, thousands of airline passengers will catch sight of it from above. During the day, the roof and chimneys stand out as precise geometric shapes, but at night, it appears to be the mouth of cave that is on fire – the strong glow from the technical interior of the plant is particularly striking from a distance .
