This project revolves around the development of sustainable architecture in the form of a mixed-use zero-energy housing complex. This is presented as the Container District which is placed in the former shipyard in Aalborg Vestby. The focus of this design proposal is the re-establishment of the identity of the site which is presented through a modern and innovative architecture. Shipping containers from neighbouring container harbours in Aalborg are converted to high sustainable dwellings that are accommodated different user groups and their needs.
4
These housing units are transported to the site and compounded with prefabricated sandwich elements considering the environmental, social and functional aspects, both in a present and future perspective. A raised courtyard unites the wide market segment, while the harbour related activities and the recreational areas provide social interaction between site visitors and boat owners. In collaboration with the redesigned harbor front that addresses living boats a maritime atmosphere is created on the site.

The House of Mapspeople is the new image of the digital map company, MapsPeople, placed centrallt in Aalborg in the boundary between modern commercial buildings and traditional danish dense-low architecture. The office building takes this collision into consideration through a modern architecture with a functional plan and technical solutions regarding energy and climate. Rough and honest materiality and construction is desired, which is revealed in a big southoriented double skin facade. This also exposes the needed functions in the office building and the community in here.
12
The office building encircles a calmly inner yard that addresses a wide user group and different activities but with consideration to the inhabitants in the area. Contrary to the structural south facade the facade towards the north is kept simple and plane and reflects the relation to the context. The layout of the building in the interior relates to the users’ needs regarding functionality, flexibility and indoor environment. The circulation system with a centre in the big characteristic staircase becomes the icon for the building and the meeting point between the different functions in the building.

The new Aalborg Theater BSc06 Bachelor project
CULTURE|MODERNISM VS. TRADITION INDUSTRY CONVERSION|INNOVATIVE
In this design project, the current Aalborg Theater is relocated to the western harbour front in Aalborg as part of the transformation of this former industrial area to a cultural center, Cloud City. The theater is as meteors from space landed in the coming area with a vision of cultivating and activating the crowded Aalborg Vestby. The idiom of the design proposal is based on a twisting of the simple geometries of the future buildings in Cloud City. Simultaneous, the design is an innovative reinterpretation of the theater typology.
Though, it is placed with respect to the scheduled factories nearby, where one of these, Malteribygningen, is renovated and included in the theater as the production and commercial part of the theater. Thereby, the theater plays are separated and placed in each of the three asymmetric concrete buildings. Hence, the new Aalborg Theater embraces two ages, the past and the present, which are connected in a lightweight metal roof structure, where the theater world meets the public world.

Plan 1:100 26
A modest and sustainable dwelling is designed for a writer that wants to work remote from society and close to nature in a period. It is placed with respect to its surroundings on a little hill in the woods in Hammer Bakker near Pebermosen. Through a simple and functional plan, living and sleeping area is separated from workroom in relation to their different needs regarding privacy, daylight, view and indoor environment. The connection to nature is the cornerstone in the design which is underlined through the gentle placement on the ground.
This is further enhanced by the transparency in the building which is ensured through big window sections towards all directions. These also frame the nature and create clear sight lines through the building. Thereby, the dwelling appeals to all senses. Low energy consumption and a good indoor environment is secured through the use of active and passive strategies in the form of passive solar heat, natural ventilation, green roof and the reuse of water and biomass in order to produce heat and electricity. In this way the dwelling becomes self-sufficient.

Studio in Portugal BSc06 Course project
STUDIO AND DWELLING|CONSTRUCTION MATERIALITY|FOCUS ON THE LANDSCAPE
A robust studio and dwelling for a painter are designed and placed on a mountainside in western Portugal, which is characterised by a mountainous landscape and by buildings in granite. To create a relation to this rough environment, the concept consists of two concrete masses that seems growing up from the mountain and are connected by timber beams. The focus of this project has been creating an architectural symbiosis between the materials timber and concrete by utilising their aesthetic and strength properties. Simultaneous, a close connection to the context, climate and the user is wanted.

Plan 1:1000
Aalborg Vestby Station, that is located between Aalborg and Nørresundby, has been redesigned with the aim of creating an attractive urban space that fulfills the criteria of Jan Gehl and the users’ needs. Through analyses of the station and its context and of the users and their behavioural pattern, functional and aesthetic solutions are developed in order to improve the circulation system, the sitting and standing opportunities, the facing and the lighting on the station.
The new Aalborg Vestby Station shall be an experience, and thus the design seeks in creating a good atmosphere for both travelers and passers-by. Furthermore, the function of the station as transit area is enhanced through the organic form on the platform and the red arch structure which indicates speed and simultaneous refers to traditional railway stations. The new Aalborg Station becomes a landmark in Aalborg Vestby and appears identifiable to its user group at all speeds.
