HTDSTUDIO DESIGNOFFICE is part of a new 2-volume set “Panel Layout for Competition”
HTDSTUDIO’s published project is their proposal for a zero-carbon, 24-hour city in Nordhavnen, Denmark, just outside Copenhagen. This community was developed with the idea of life as a focus from the inception of the design process. Great emphasis was set on carefully balancing and integrating residential, cultural, commercial, recreational, naturalistic and institutional elements of this masterplan. A holistic approach to both micro and macro organization were crucial to this ultra livable city. Special attention was given to influencing and promoting activities, interaction and microclimates. Day and night as well as summer and winter activities were key to creating a vibrant and sustainable city.
With the exception of the Preservation district to the North, all other districts are designed to offer residents a full variety of experiences and services within their general vicinity thus relieving them of having to travel to adjacent districts for necessities. Nordhavnen is to be a highly sustainable development which will encompass multiple key technologies in order to greatly reduce its’ carbon footprint. Flexibility and adaptability are also to be synonymous with all aspects of the masterplan. The Historical, Gateway and Community districts each have core use elements that are centered on a school, daycare center and other core uses that are essential to binding a community together. All districts have a well-integrated housing strategy that includes residents of all socioeconomic levels.
