Swedish Car Park Built with Giant Wind Turbine Blades
20 Aug
Summary
- Old wind turbine blades form the façade of a new car park.
- The car park uses 57 rotor blades from a decommissioned wind farm.
- The project showcases 'visible sustainability' by keeping blades recognizable.
A car park in Lund, Sweden, now features a distinctive façade made from 57 rotor blades of decommissioned wind turbines. Inaugurated in December 2025, the Niels Bohr car park incorporates these blades as non-load-bearing elements, deliberately keeping their original form visible.
The blades were sourced from the Nørre Økse Sø wind farm in Denmark, which was decommissioned in 2023. This project by Lloyd's Arkitektkontor is described as 'visible sustainability,' repurposing materials that are challenging to recycle due to their composite nature.
The car park, which includes 365 spaces and 40 EV charging points, demonstrates a creative approach to circular construction. The reused blades are part of a broader sustainable design that also features façade planting and rooftop solar panels powering a battery-storage system.
