In 2000 Thylander Group formed a consortium acquiring “Vandflyverhangaren” (Seaplane Hangar) a protected property located at Holmen in Copenhagen. The project involved a delicate restoration project, carried out by architect Dorte Mandrup-Poulsen, to provide the new Danish headquarters for Cell Network AB, a Swedish listed company. The project was highly successful and received awards from “Københavns Kommunes Kulturfond” and “Foreningen til Hovedstadens Forskønnelse” as well as the award ”Træprisen” and a nomination for the internationally recognised award, “Mies van der Rohe Award”.
