The Craftsmanship College in Horsens is a unique and inspiring environment that brings together the craftsmen of the future under one roof. Here, young craftsmen will live, learn and work while they are in training, becoming part of a learning community with a focus on traditional craftsmanship and methods that have existed for decades.

The college was developed by the BRF Foundation and is an excellent example of how modern construction can integrate classic materials with functional and aesthetic solutions.

The exterior of the building is constructed with red recycled bricks from Gamle Mursten, which adds both character and warmth to the project. The bricks are ideal for creating a rustic and authentic expression that reflects the purpose of the college. The machine-cleaned bricks are carefully selected to ensure high quality and a uniform appearance, while giving the building’s facade a unique and lasting appearance.

The red recycled bricks not only contribute to the aesthetic expression of the building, but also support the functional requirements set for modern student housing. Their robust and durable nature makes them perfect for construction where quality and longevity are essential. Furthermore, the bricks’ integrity and appearance makes them an ideal choice for a project that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern architecture.

The Crafts College in Horsens is an excellent example of how historic materials such as bricks can be used in a new and relevant way that both pays homage to tradition and meets the needs of the future.
