Nature of the Project
The project is based on an overarching strategy to transform Tingbjerg into an attractive, mixed-use neighborhood through the construction of new community-oriented housing types.
Tingbjerg III was designed by ERIK Architects and is part of the local renewal of Tingbjerg, where sustainability is a top priority. The project is owned by INNOVATER.
The project consists of two residential blocks arranged around an inner courtyard. The residential blocks will be built with three and four stories.
The project encompasses 4,754 m² of floor area, comprising a senior living community, private family homes, and a small commercial area.
The senior living community will be established as rental housing, with the expectation that it will be leased to the Mosefundet association. The association consists of dedicated, resourceful local residents who have worked for several years to establish a senior living community in Brønshøj/Tingbjerg.
The family homes are primarily designed for medium-sized households—in practice, a couple or a couple with one child—as three-bedroom units with spacious living areas. A single commercial unit is being built at the southeast corner of the development, adjacent to other public facilities along the main street.
The project will be constructed using precast concrete elements and is classified in structural class KK3.
Sustainability
Several key sustainability measures have been implemented in the project, which is led by Innovater.
The facades are constructed using recycled bricks, which reduces the carbon footprint and promotes material reuse; similarly, the windows are made of wood/aluminum with low-energy glazing, which improves energy efficiency and reduces heat loss.
The construction combines traditional building methods (heavy load-bearing walls, hollow-core slabs) with modern prefabricated solutions (bathroom modules, utility shafts) to optimize the construction process, minimize waste, and enhance quality.
Finally, the integration of housing types (family homes + senior living community) and ground-floor retail spaces creates greater diversity in the area—and thus the potential for sustainable neighborhood development with social benefits.
The urban area (Tingbjerg) also has a broader sustainability perspective in the form of green transition, communities, the use of local materials, and recycling—all of which the project is part of.
