PROJECT: BENDED TOWERS
LOCATION: ÅRHUS, DENMARK

In this project we aimed at linking two unfinished residential blocks in the historic neighborhood of Trøjborg while also minimizing the impact of such a development on the existing residents.



To accomplish this, we generated a classic arch using the historic building language in the area and then applied on-site forces such as light, views, etc. From this we molded two separate towers. Each tower was then programmed with apartments of dynamic split-spatial quality, which maximized the apartment coverage within the tower and relative to the site.
