‘A green haven’ is a proposal to transform an abandoned plot located in a buzzy urban area into a luxurious green safe haven with several villas and collective social space. Through-in depth communication with both the municipality and the local residents, P·A has carefully assimimilated their needs and wants and integrated them into a design that speaks quality.

Smart design choices tackle the location specific challenges such as noise pollution and privacy, while the designs green ambitions are accomplished through many interventions that benefit nature. A large green collective area, sustainable CLT core structures, a biodiversity-favoring wild garden filled with naturally occuring plants, and nesting possibilities for birds and bats integrated into the facade - these are just some examples of measures the design takes to respectfully anchor the dwellings in their urban-meets-natural surroundings.

The villas themselves utlize the typology of the patio, creating several layers of varying privacy between street and dwelling. This layered design allows inhabitants a fluent transition between socializing with neighbours and withdrawing to a more private environment. Green, spacious and all-around comfortable, ‘a green haven’ is the perfect home for a young family to enjoy life in a big city.
