Article source: C.F. Møller The Assembly Hall is a former industrial hall, located on an old industrial site in Valby, which has now been transformed into the lively district of Valby Maskinfabrik. C.F. Møller handled the transformation of Montagehallen (the Assembly Hall), where the original industrial expression has been preserved, while filling the interior with modern commercial premises and homes, and also an event and community building.

This value relates, among other things, to the hall's 200-metre long building volume, the façade’s red-lead steel grating structure, infilled with panels of red brick, and the characteristic gable motif, denoted by the hall's curved roof and prism-shaped skylights.

Behind the glass, you can still see traces of the hall's previous use. At each end of the hall a new interior volume has been inserted, supported by an industrial steel structure in line with the building's original expression.

With the help of a steel structure mounted on the new façade, the cadence and the long, rhythmic flow of the original façade are continued. The steel structure is also used to mount the balconies. Each residential unit has a balcony or ground-floor terrace, and a living room with a large west-facing glass section that spans the width of the entire room.
