Copenhagen’s New ‘Sky Village’

Posted by EscapeDigitalMedia

The municipality of Rødovre of Copenhagen, Denmark, announced today the Sky Village as the winner of the Rødovre Skyscraper design competition. This 116 meter tall tower will accommodate apartments, a hotel, offices, and a public park and a plaza.

With 21,688m2 of real estate the new skyscraper will be located at Roskildevej, on the East side of Copenhagen. The design is based on a flexible grid, allowing possible modifications by re-arranging the units. Each ‘pixel unit’ is 60m2 square and are attached to the central core of the structure. This strategic design creates a stacked neighborhood, which they call a Sky Village. It will also integrate the most advanced technologies suit to satisfy the Danish environmental standards
