The 4th semester project was about social housing with commercial unit located in Lisbjergvej. The client’s requirements were to build a 4-5 storey building with the uppermost storey as penthouse residences with lightweight construction. Another client’s wish was to make a usage building, where small storages ( approx. 2m2) will be placed for each apartment in the building. If it is possible on the ground floor, client would like to have some youth apartments for the students and 2 handicap apartments ( 90 m2, 110 m2). The apartments have to be 2 room apartments, with a gross area about 90 m2, and 3 room apartments with a gross area about 110 m2.Each apartment should have a balcony/ terrace, kitchen, bathroom and closet. The commercial unit should be 200 m2. The total area for the whole building should be round 7600 m2. Another client’s wish was that the main façade should be made out of brick. Load-bearing walls and floor decks should be made of prefabricated concrete elements. Stairs, landings and balconies should be made out of prefabricated concrete. The penthouse should be made of lightweight construction.

The building had to be designed as a low-energy building class 2015 according to BR10. The temperature in the apartments should be 21 degree Celsius. Mechanical ventilation should be used in the building with heat recovery in apartments (The commercial unit should have separate ventilation system). The total costs must not exceed (2015 amount) DKK 19110 incl. VAT per m2, but excluding various allowances.

Below you can see the results of my work of that project.
