This project explores how an industrial site in Copenhagen can be densified with housing, seeking alternatives to challenges connected to contemporary residential areas. As a counter approach to tabula rasa developments, the project builds its identity on site specific qualities and investigates how housing can coexist with industrial functions. The groundfloor is developed around a culture of sharing, providing an alternative to current tendencies of maximizing private consumption.
