Via LinkedIn I came across this development.
Basecamp Lyngby is described as a housing and multi-use development.It is located in Denmark.
It's an interesting example of how housing could be designed to incorporate nature, and provide opportunities for residents or users to have access to nature in their daily life.
It's described as a place where design, convenience, and sustainability coexist harmoniously and boasts about its positives:
- Intergenerational Living: This unique complex brings together students, doctoral candidates, and seniors, fostering a vibrant and diverse community.
- Waste Minimisation and Reuse: The building extensively uses recycled materials, particularly in its facade. These materials not only promote sustainability but can also be reused repeatedly, embodying the principles of a circular economy.
- Recycled Air Systems: The heating and ventilation system utilizes recycled air, significantly reducing energy consumption and waste. This system captures and reuses 90% of the energy from extracted air to heat fresh air, enhancing energy efficiency.
- Rainwater Harvesting: The complex includes rainwater storage facilities that collect and store rainwater for various uses, such as natural irrigation, thereby reducing the burden on the sewage system and conserving water.
There is plenty more that could be done to ensure that modern buildings are more creative, and pay closer attention to nature.
