Description
- The project is a temporary student housing community constructed from used shipping containers.
- It addresses the shortage of student housing by utilizing former industrial port regions in the city, which only allow for temporary structures.
- In Copenhagen, rules permit temporary housing for a span of 10 years in these sites, leading to the conceptualization of a structure that can be easily relocated.
- The containers form modular units, and housing clusters are created by stacking containers.
- Semi-private spaces are formed between container stacks, with transparent roofs covering outdoor living areas for residents to dine, dry clothes, etc.
- The simple container structure allows for flexibility and personalization of the interiors. The entire structure is held together by joints and screws, enabling easy disassembly and relocation.
- The project adheres to Design for Disassembly principles, which ensure that high-quality materials can be reused multiple times, making the structure sustainable over its lifecycle.
- The project takes into account the entire lifecycle of the materials used, emphasizing the importance of reusability and sustainability in temporary housing.
- Each container unit provides compact private spaces, including a kitchen and bathroom.
- Residents are encouraged to use shared spaces for everyday activities like dining and laundry, fostering community interaction.
- A community house forms the focal point of the development, providing a flexible space for daily activities and public events on the harbor front, enhancing social interaction among residents.
