Summary

Transforming Amager

This project involved the design and development of a mixed-use residential complex, comprising the refurbishment of an existing building and the construction of a new four-story apartment block. The aim was to reflect the industrial heritage of Amager while promoting community interaction.

Crafting a community

Our design process was guided by the need to honour Amager's rich industrial heritage while addressing modern living requirements. We recognised the importance of integrating green spaces and community areas to enhance residents' quality of life.

Balancing heritage with modern needs

The resulting complex features a mix of refurbished and new townhouses, each designed with private courtyards and rooftop gardens. The innovative use of materials, such as raw brick and galvanised steel, alongside warm timber finishes in communal areas, creates a harmonious blend of old and new, fostering a sense of community while paying homage to Amager's industrial roots.

Quote

This residential project is an example of a transformation, where the site was an old industrial area that previously housed a furniture store. It was essential for the buildings to reflect a diverse expression and align with the neighbourhood's context, ensuring it harmonises with the surrounding cityscape. Creating excellent living conditions was also a big priority.
