Living Places Copenhagen

Designing low-carbon homes for a healthier future.

It’s time to rethink buildings. With buildings responsible for 40% of global energy use and CO2 emissions, the need for sustainable, healthy homes is urgent.

Living Places Copenhagen is designed to showcase how innovative construction can address global climate and health challenges. It showcases prototypes from the broader concept of ‘Living Places,’ which achieves an impressively low CO2 footprint while providing a first-class indoor climate. Remarkably, these homes are priced competitively with standard single-family houses and row houses.

The Living Places concept leads the way in Denmark with the lowest CO2 emissions, proving that we don't have to wait for future technologies to build sustainably today. Living Places Copenhagen aims to tackle the intertwined crises of climate change, health, and housing through a holistic approach.

Living Places Copenhagen emphasizes the importance of forging new collaborations and partnerships across various sectors and societal layers to drive meaningful change.

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, foster communities, and retain our individuality while improving human health.

This design solution is a vision of how we can build for people and the planet at the same time.
