Project Description
Lynghaven is located in the Stationskvarteret neighborhood near the railroad tracks in the northern part of Nærheden. Here, 15,000 m² of new residential development is being constructed.
Lynghaven is being developed as a block-style development consisting of four independent building complexes. Each building complex is formed by three blocks that are offset relative to one another, breaking up the blocks’ length and making optimal use of the terrain.
The courtyard connects the building groups and houses shared facilities: two greenhouses for social activities and play areas.
The individual blocks are designed as apartment buildings ranging from three to five stories, with a single six-story block. The residences are divided into 7 different apartment types, ranging in size from 2-bedroom apartments of 57 m² to 4-bedroom apartments of just over 91 m², all with access to a balcony or terrace, several of which are shielded by the building’s architecture.
ABC has engaged SINUZ Consulting Engineers as a sub-consultant for selected engineering services on the project.
Sustainability
The building is DGNB Gold certified as of 2023, and a number of sustainability measures have been implemented in the project.
Efforts have been made to optimize resources, including materials and service life, as well as energy efficiency. The building meets the BR18 low-energy class, and solar panels are installed to cover the electricity consumption of building services.
To ensure a healthy indoor climate, the homes are equipped with high-efficiency ventilation systems.
The certification also places a strong emphasis on nature and the surroundings, which foster a sense of community, and to future-proof the development, retention basins have been built into the courtyard to manage increased rainwater volumes.
A life-cycle assessment has been conducted, taking into account energy efficiency, electricity generation from solar panels, and the durability of materials—all of which lead to lower operating costs and reduced need for material replacement, as some of these materials have a long service life.
The building’s load-bearing structures are robust and primarily constructed of concrete, while the exterior walls are made of brick. These materials were selected for reasons including fire safety and acoustics, which are crucial to the building’s durability and safety.
