Making housing offer feel like home
Thomas Laubs Gade
Thomas Laubs Gade is a housing offer for young people with developmental disabilities, offering a supportive 5-year residence. In the design process, PLH focused on creating a space that feels like home, providing an environment where the residents can build the skills to navigate adulthood. Each unit includes its own kitchen and bathroom, while the building also offers common areas, a large kitchen, laundry room, rooftop, and a staff room.
The building has three levels and can house 12 residents.

On the top level, the residents have access to a common rooftop.

Line Marie Nisted, Senior Project Leader & Architect, PLHThe focus has of course been on making the units feel like home and ensuring they include everything the young people need. What sets this project apart is its openness. There are no fences or hedges. It was important for the building to be an integrated part of the street and the city, blending seamlessly with its surroundings.
