Living Places x New European Bauhaus

Living Places Copenhagen has been selected as an exemplary project for the New European Bauhaus Catalogue of Blueprints for Affordable and Resilient Homes.

The feature highlights one of the core ambitions behind Living Places: to demonstrate that healthier, more affordable homes with low carbon emissions can be built - and scaled - today using existing materials, technologies, and knowledge.

Developed through a close collaboration between architects, engineers, industry partners, and researchers, Living Places explores how design decisions, material choices, and lifecycle thinking can improve both environmental performance and quality of life.

Designed to be Open-Source

Living Places is more than just a prototype, it’s a full-scale testbed demonstrating that many of the solutions needed to rethink housing already exist. Therefore the challenge is not invention, but implementation.

With this in mind, the project was conceived with an open-source mindset, founded on the belief that sharing findings and methodologies can facilitate both meaningful discourse and development across the building industry. 

Living Places would not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of our partners and collaborators - VELUX, Artelia and Enemærke & Petersen - who helped bring the project to life.
