The rapid grown of cities and its infrastructure leaves unutilized, empty spaces within the urban fabric. The project recognizes the potential of these leftover spaces as “in-between” spaces, and propose a strategy for activating the space underneath the elevated railway and Glenteparken to become valuable asset for a collective local neighbourhood.

Facade - Summer vs. Winter : The adjustable openings allow a flexible use in relation to time and season. Units can be added, removed or repositioned to create a different constellation and use of space.
