Vandkunsten designs 100 new public housing units at Svanemølleholm in Copenhagen’s North Harbour
Vandkunsten has designed the 100 new public housing units at Svanemølleholm in the heart of Copenhagen's Nordhavn, which the housing association VIBO will build.
The project contributes wth 29% of the desired 40% public housing at Svanemølleholm.
Together with the housing association VIBO, the development company By & Havn, and Kuben Management A/S, we will create a residential area where community, sustainability, and architectural quality go hand in hand.
The construction will be built in wood with bio-based and recycled materials, with green energy solutions such as solar panels and battery systems, and where the community among the residents and with the surrounding urban environment is central.
“Our construction takes the good social qualities we know from close, low-rise communal living and brings them into the city, in the form of a vertical village environment. At the same time, nature has been drawn right into the development and made into a central focal point. At it’s core, it’s about creating a good framework for a shared home where people spend more time together and help each other in daily life, without compromising on private living,” says Kim Dalgaard, partner at Vandkunsten.
Thanks for the great collaboration so far to VIBO and Kuben Management, we look forward to the next phase!
