Frikvarteret Housing
Nordhavnen, Copenhagen
2019
Tagkronen is a green and vibrant community placed on the roof of the shopping centre Kronen in Vanløse, Copenhagen. The landscape project at Tagkronen creates lush and recreative spaces in conjunction with Tagkronen’s 158 homes that are placed on top of a new shopping centre, Kronen. The vision for Tagkronen is to create housing facilities based on the principles of sustainability, community and livability. The project provides a mix of housing types built using recyclable materials and is located near a public transportation hub. The constructions are made from prefabricated wooden modules – a fast, easy, efficient and very CO2-friendly construction technique. The wooden modules form compact townhouses that reach between 2 and 4 stories.
