Project Type
Seven property owners, led by NPV, are transforming a run-down industrial district into a residential area in Sydhavnen, Copenhagen.
AP Ejendomme is on board with this extensive project, which involves the development of 115,000 m² and is valued at billions of kroner.
The daycare center will be a three-story building spanning 2,880 m² and will serve as the heart of the brand-new neighborhood (Sydhavnsgade Quarter), which will feature over 400 sustainable homes for families and singles, as well as a care center.
The building’s geometry allows for the use of all available spaces—both on top of the building and around it—for play. The green spaces will extend from the garden up to the rooftops, creating a green oasis within the city for the children. The wooden facades will lend the building a warm and sustainable character.
The building must comply with low-energy class requirements and will therefore be highly sustainable and energy-optimized through measures such as solar panels, an optimized indoor climate, minimized heat loss, controlled building systems, and optimized material selection. ABC also ensures that the architect’s challenging building geometry can be realized so that the extensive social functional requirements become an integral part of the project.
ABC is responsible for the engineering design of all load-bearing structures, systems, and acoustics in close collaboration with the client, the general contractor, and the architect. Furthermore, the scope of work includes project monitoring during construction.
Work scope descriptions are prepared for the individual sub-areas, as well as building component descriptions for all building components. The main structure is classified as consequence class KK3, meaning the project must be reviewed by a certified structural engineer.
