Byfornyelsesselskabet Danmark. (1998). Præfabrikerede installationsskakte (Prefabricated Installation Shafts). Projekt Renovering, Project no. 142 (Copenhagen).
The main aim of the project was to develop prefabricated pipe shafts measuring max. 600 × 400 mm (equivalent to a cupboard unit). The shafts are clad with two layers of fibre plasterboard.
 
SBS Byfornyelse (1998). ID-konceptet (The ID concept). Projekt Renovering, Project no. 255 (Copenhagen).
