Oceanhamnen is an entirely new city district with the ambition of becoming an urban archipelago, where quality of life and sustainability go hand in hand. The goal from the start with developing Oceanhamnen has been sustainable urban development – economic, environmental, and social.
It accommodates an innovative waste and wastewater management system for around 320 apartments and several office buildings. Every home is being equipped with a unique waste separation system with three pipes; one pipe for ground food waste, one pipe for baths, dishwashing, and washing machines, and one vacuum pipe for toilets.
The oceanhamnen project is located next to the sea therefore it was important to preserve, improve, and shine a light on life not only on the ground but also below the surface. The projects are pushing the boundaries of urban planning beyond the piers to create a better quality of life both above and below the surface.
In its first development phase at the Ocean Pier, Oceanhamnen has 350 new homes by 2022. Three office buildings with exciting architecture at the furthest point on the pier provides lots of space for business premises and services just by the water. The area has also a central square and a canal through the pier for small boats to pass.
