Description

Basecamp is part of a lively green area in Lyngby, surrounded by cemetery to the north and lake to the west. The project consists of 640 new apartments for students, researchers, and seniors. The landscape preserves the area’s lush character. An organically winding network of paths connect the area on the roof of the building. The planting is dense and park-like with scattered trees and many different types of landscape with cut grasses, tall grasses, and plants.

Visitors can experience the roof and the view of Lyngby Lake thanks to a public trail that swings along the rising building and ascends six levels. The building's tenants have access to private terraces on the roof's verdant surroundings.

The shape of the building helps create interesting spaces along the exterior facades as well as an unusual inner courtyard with little terraces and recreational areas with a playing field and a playground.

The shape of the building helps create interesting spaces along the outer façades as well as an exciting inner courtyard full of patios and common spaces. The round squares create places for the inhabitants of the area to gather and relax.
