Velux Group's Living Places Copenhagen project has been selected by the jury as the 2024 Architizer A+Awards winner in the Sustainable Private House category as well as the Popular Choice winner in the Architecture+Innovation category, voted by the public.
The Architizer A+Awards is one of the largest award programs focused on promoting and celebrating the year’s best architecture. The Sustainable Private House category awards private housing projects that incorporate sustainable systems and materials, and follow best practices within ethical design, construction and operation. The Architecture+Innovation category is dedicated to projects that unlock new ways to build, including incorporating new, experimental, or unconventional design concepts and materials, or rethink traditional approaches in pioneering ways. The Architecture+Innovation award is based on public voting.
What Living Places Copenhagen project says
"We are very honored to receive these two awards for our Living Places Copenhagen project and to be acknowledged as winners of the Sustainable Private House and Architecture+Innovation categories. Our ambition with the project is, on one hand, to show that it is possible to build homes that are both healthy to live in, affordable to build and with a low carbon footprint. But it is also important for us to inspire the industry and people to design and think homes differently than what we are used to. With these two awards, we thrive on the affirmation that the concept is not only acknowledged for its innovative approach by thousands of public voters, but also that it appeals to private homeowners," says Lone Feifer, director of sustainable buildings, Velux Group.
