Description
- It is a mixed-use district that is the result of a regeneration of a former brewery estate.
- The site was formerly used by Danish company Carlsberg for its brewery. Due to increased urbanization in the surroundings and logistical restrictions the operations were shifted to a rural area, leaving the site to be redeveloped.
- The masterplan of the area was selected based on a architecture competition conducted. The main themes of the plan were to be that of the Carlsberg brand- popular, festive and vibrant.
- The district is to have a dense low-rise structure.
- The masterplan took inspiration from the layout of the existing network of underground wine cellars in the site and projected them above ground.
- This resulted in an irregular network of interconnected public spaces and buildings with many squares , avenues and lanes.
- The development aims to maintain a classic town feel to the region and rejects the idea of modernism and uniformity in its design.
- Through a mix of residential areas and a strong active retail experience the area is planned as a 24/7 neighborhood.
- It is walkable with spatial experiences , art and water features designed in the urban realm,
- The existing brick buildings will be preserved and reused as cultural institutions. The new buildings will follow a similar design language as the existing historical buildings.
- Water is used as a common element in urban spaces.
- The area is planned to have 25 urban spaces and gardens.
- 9 high rise buildings are planned at various locations. They would mark important areas and public spaces , acting as landmarks for the district.
- The ground floor of the entire district would be primarily retail , opening onto public spaces. This would create a lively streetscape.Facades of buildings would be designed to generate interest at the ground level.
- The district aims to be CO2 neutral with its electricity and heat generation , when fully developed.
