Grønne Kvarter

The Grønne Kvarter project presented several challenges. Firstly, the site lacked a cohesive identity and suffered from fragmented infrastructure. Secondly, ensuring the development remained affordable while incorporating sustainable practices was crucial.

GroundUp's team tackled these challenges by implementing a human-centric design approach. We prioritized walkable streets, public squares, and green spaces, creating a sense of connection and encouraging community interaction. Additionally, we incorporated innovative energy-efficient technologies and sustainable building materials throughout the project, minimizing environmental impact.

A key aspect of the project was ensuring affordability. We worked closely with the municipality to implement a mix of housing options, including subsidized units and co-living spaces, catering to diverse income levels. This ensured the development remained accessible to a broad range of residents.
