Vertical Greenscapes: merging gardens with residences, inspired by Denmark's allotment tradition. Targeting seniors and students, fostering diversity and knowledge exchange. Circular design and recycled materials align with UN Sustainability Goals, envisioning a greener urban future.

Furthermore, the proposal investigates the integration of gardens in the urban context.

These vertical allotments offer a flexible framework for urban living, seamlessly integrating green spaces into the structure of ur- ban dwellings.

The project delves into allotment typologies and semantics, examining how they can be interpreted and integrated into contem- porary residential housing within the urban context of Copenhagen.

My primary focus is on catering to the lower-middle-class demographic, aligning with the ethos of allotment living and its historical context. By targeting this demographic, I aim to promote diversity within the commu- nity and foster mutual exchange of knowledge among its inhabitants.
The chosen user group often includes individuals seeking alternatives to conventional living models. In my de- sign approach, I plan to create housing units for approximately 150 people, complemented by communal gar- dens and additional shared spaces. These spaces will serve as a framework, encouraging social interaction and providing cues for community engagement.

Stakeholders: Copenhagen Municipality, Fonding
Caretakers and users: The residents, student and seniors along visitors of the site

Specifics:
Bruttoareal ~ 10,221 m2

Vertical Greenscapes - This innovative typology involves stacking gardens to sufficiently utailizing the space, create affordable sustainble homes within the cityscape.
