Banegaarden and the Museum of Copenhagen are contenders for the Renover Prisen 2022

This year, 144 renovation projects were nominated for the prestigious Renover Award.

If this was a golf tournament, then the nomination committee has just announced the list of 21 projects that 'made the cut'.

This is the tenth year of the award so, rather than a single award, there will be awards in three separate categories for renovation projects for Bolig or Housing; Erhverv meaning business or possibly commercial projects, and the third award will be for institutional or public buildings.

Also, this year, the sustainability of the project will be judged along with quality of use and contribution to the environment; quality of execution including craftsmanship; the extent to which the completed renovation will be an inspiration or a good example to others and finally - and perhaps the most interesting criteria - the project should mark a successful collaboration across professional disciplines so it should be seen as the successful collaboration of cliens, consultants, architects and contractors.

By the end of June, for the next stage, a list of nine projects will be selected and it is from those nine projects that an electoral college of 70 judges will chose the three projects that will receive an award for 2022.
