Housing

Carl Jacobsens Vej

In 2012, Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter won the competition for 76 attractive apartments at Carl Jacobsens Vej in Valby.

The building consists of two angled building bodies that form spaces around a sunny courtyard. The entire floor at street level is dedicated to commercial tenancies, shops and the possibility of a café facing the busy street towards Ellebjerg Station.

The housing variety spans 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-room apartments in order to appeal to a differentiated audience. However, the majority of the homes will consist of 3- and 4-room light-filled apartments. All homes have outdoor living options such as balconies or roof terraces.

The building can be read as a contemporary interpretation of the existing buildings in the area. The facades will appear bricked in dark brick, alternatively with a lighter stone towards the courtyard to create a brighter atmosphere here. The base of the square is greened with ivy. It is the idea that the facades

must be simple and composed of few and good materials with a clear and harmonious expression.

The aim is to create housing that values ​​energy and environmental considerations very highly, with Copenhagen Municipality's pamphlet "Environment in construction and construction" as a minimum.
