Living Places Copenhagen is developed with the aim of demonstrating how an innovative approach to construction and buildings can help solve some of the global climate and health challenges.
Living Places Copenhagen showcases prototypes of the larger concept ‘Living Places’. They have a record low CO2 footprint, and a first-class indoor climate to a price that matches the market price for a single-family house or row houses at scale.
The concept holds the lowest CO2 emissions in Denmark, demonstrating that they do not have to wait for future technology to build more sustainably.
They aim to grapple with the climate, health, and housing crises in parallel through a different and more holistic approach. To enable real change, they mean there is a need to engage in new types of collaborations and partnerships across society, sectors and value chains.
The Jury says
Living Places Copenhagen moves beyond mere ideas and turns ambitious goals into reality.
Not only does it focus on impact with its extremely low carbon emissions of 3,85 kilograms per square meter per year. It is a vision of how we can build and live together in the future and foster communities while retaining our individuality and improving human health.
This design solution is a vision of how we can build for people and the planet at the same time.
