Sluseholmen district is where water, city, and housing are thought of as a whole. Thus, water is a crucial element in the canal town, where large and small townhouses stand shoulder to shoulder and form coherent blocks. The atmosphere alternates between intimate canal environments and areas characterized by large-scale and open views of the surrounding port areas.
The houses are located in many places next to the canal, and bridges, piers, and water stairs provide the opportunity to get very close to the water.
In addition to the blue element, in the middle of the large courtyard of the blocks, there are attractive, green oases. They function as a kind of neighborhood square where residents have access to communal living and play.
To ensure coherence with the surrounding city, Sluseholmen is richly connected to the city via bridges, harbour buses and with the future Sydhavn Metro. In addition, the area has its own harbor bath, which attracts people from all over the area.
