Augustenborg is one of the few successful examples of total refurbishment of a residential estate from the people’s homes (“folkhemmet”) period that will be documented and compiled so that the experience can be disseminated. The purpose is to inspire more people to refurbish according to the concept that has been developed. It is both demanding and unusual that experiences are documented systematically and made available to practitioners. Real examples documented with background, outcomes and results are invaluable to the development of expertise and innovation in the real estate and construction industry.
