When Nature interferes with everyday life

The new development is a link between two existing suburban areas in Allerød. It creates an urban band that binds the city together. In complement with the existing topography, 600 new dwellings are constructed so that settlement and landscape are woven together. The landscape seeps between housing and public squares, and close attention is paid to nature, through sustainable and structuring elements such as rainwater collection basins, solar cell farms, shared gardens, orchards and waste sorting stations. Collective practices create interactivity between people and offer a glimpse of future ways of living. Ny Blovstrød differs from Blovstrød's existing structure of detached houses with private gardens, adding a greater social mix with different lifestyle aspirations.
