Description
- The district is a new canal area in Sydhavnen with strong Dutch architectural references.
- Previously an industrial area, it has been transformed to accommodate 1,350 households, offering waterside living with convenient access to the city.
- The area features diverse individual houses and lively squares, typical of Danish housing.
- The district is composed of eight housing islands, connected by bridges and surrounded by wharfs, creating a charming and quaint atmosphere.
- Each housing island consists of townhouses and continuous streets along the canals, drawing from traditional Dutch designs.
- Facade designs vary across the district, with a shared shell structure that contributes to a classic Amsterdam-inspired feel, creating identifiable neighborhoods.
- Water plays a decisive role in the design, with townhouses lining the canals, and streets designed to enhance the waterfront experience.
- The district alternates between intimate canal environments and open views of the surrounding harbor, giving residents a dynamic living experience.
- Bridges, jetties, and water stairs provide residents with direct access to the water.
- Neighborhood squares serve as common living and play areas, featuring green oases at their centers.
- Each apartment quadrant has a semi-open courtyard that provides access to water channels and vibrant common areas.
- Shared amenities like sand pits, playgrounds, picnic benches, BBQs, and vegetable boxes foster a strong community atmosphere.
- Residents are encouraged to engage with the water through shared kayaks and a local harbor bath.
