Sustainable hosuing in planteringen

What is sustainable architecture?

The project has been inspired by Planteringen’s lack of community, the place’s meager population, and the acclimatization from industrial to human scale.

At the same time, the opportunities that the area offers have inspired large parts of our design. The possibility of public transport and alternative transport with less impact on the environment, as well as the connection with the Tallskogsleden-greenway. The site’s current buildings are also simply removable, which enables the project even more.

The Domī residences must generate a socially active life, with greenery, ecological diversity and the possibility of change.

The neighborhood consists of 18 indifferent homes, which certainly differ marginally, but the main focus and design follow a common template. The residences consist of two floors (+ third loft floor and own patio).

The concept strives to create different levels and zones of public-private. Differences in height, volumes that stretch out, as well as the diffuse shift between private and public challenge and strive for the discovering man to explore the changing relationships in the surroundings. These elements are seen at the entry point of the residential area, the atriums and the garden.

Green roofs and solar cells

Recycled concretem

The house will consist of recycled concrete elements inspired by the Japanese

art of Kintsugi, to repair with gold. To give old new life, give it character, and

make it tell a story. The city of Helsingborg is in the process of building a new hospital. At the same time, the old remains, and the dilemma is between tearing down or preserving. If the hospital (and the associated parking garage) is to be demolished, there is the possibility of recycled load-bearing wall elements from there. In addition to these concrete elements, the remaining parts of the frame are KL wooden frame (non-load-bearing).

The beginning of sustainability in housing starts with the environmental, economic and aesthetically pleasing issues. Green roofs contribute as extra insulation for

the roofs, absorb the majority of precipitation and through their photosynthesis absorbs carbon dioxide and emits oxygen. In combination with self-produced electricity, residents can increasingly rely on their own electricity consumption.

Social sustainibility

Planteringens lack of community is pervasive. Therefore, our concept’s consistent theme is, precisely, community. To ease barriers, challenge ”the Swedish” and invite exchange.

The first volume of our building is in great focus for this. It does not directly belong to the residential housing, but is rather managed

by the residents. They can consist of space for bicycle repair and bicycle/storage bicycle pool, recycling room, workshops, rental premises, etc. But also workplaces and shops. Activities that bring life to the ground floor for all of Planteringen. The rooms get the opportunity to design the public environment, in combination with the homes. This invites visitors to explore and partake of intimate life.

We don’t want people to look at Domī as different segments in one place. The context and connection between the various events is what matters. To invite Tallskogsleden to the atrium and the front, vice versa. Dare to interact, challenge and explore architecture that invites you to the intimate encounter. Living Domī involves a flow that makes its way through the entire project.

Economic and ecological sustainability, community, history, life.

In a later course we were given an assignment where a computer model was to be rendered within inspiration from a film.

Here is my result, used on Domi:
