Description

It is a new residential district located in Orestad Syd.
It is designed as a hybrid of a high-density housing area and a garden city. It is accessible to the main city while having a plethora of open and green spaces.
Diverse housing typologies such as apartment blocks, terraced and detached houses are bound by a common brick material palette.
It features car-free lanes , squares and greenery throughout.
The houses have accessible terraces which provide areas of social interactions at various levels.
The space between buildings are designed as informal meeting and play areas.
The landscaping incorporates the challenge of the surface water being handled separately in the Orestad region. Landscaping is designed to generate scenic greenery that acts as a transition between the adjacent nature reserve.
A portion of the district consists of social housing built as part of AlmenBolig+ program. They are affordable houses where residents are provided with a building shell that is to be furnished by themselves.
The AlmenBolig+ homes are constructed from prefabricated modules and are low-energy.
