NY GRØNNINGEN Nursing Home // Tinglev,v, DENMARK // Competition // Team: Povilas Dumcius[Creo Arkitekter], Sebastian Beinhofer [Creo Arkitekter], Rytis Gelombickas [Creo Arkitekter], Vita Mogensen [Land Plus]
Through the proposal of the new elderly housing development in Tinglev, the municipality wished to insure a continuity in the life of the locals. Therefore, the nursing home will provide the cities’ eldest with a home placed in a familiar setting, providing them with the physical and familiar care. The Concept The location of the site is embedded in the collective memory of the locals through Queen Margarethe’s tree, Therefore, given the heritage of the site, the departing point for the project has been the integration of the park in the morphology of the project. By including the park, the project will offer not only a place for the residents of Ny Grønningen, but also a space for the residents of the city. From Vision to Form The form giving of the project has followed the function of the nursing home together with its technical aspects, as well as the function of the courtyards that which play an important social and psychological role for the residents and the visitors. cosiness clarity of functions nature
Hence, the venue has been divided into three clusters: two housing clusters and a social and administrative cluster. Each of the housing clusters is provided with a comment room in direct connection to the semi-public courtyards.
The social and administrative cluster however, is oriented towards the existing library and City Hall. By positioning the social quarters of the building in direct connection to another public building already existing on site, we create the opportunity of integrating a pedestrian boulevard between the two, a space for social interaction and outdoor activities. By having a contract between public and private spacial opportunities, residents will have the chance to choose the degree to which they want to participate in the social life of the city. Personal Involvement The project has been the result of 6 weeks of intensive labor, between a small group consisting of a partner, two architects and an intern. The delivery material took the form of a booklet and presentation boards, which included technical drawings of the project, renders, as well as an outline of the technical solutions presented in the project. Throughout the project, I have played the role of a project leader, together with the partner in charge. I have maintained the communication with the rendering team, the landscape team and the engineering team, while also conduction the quality control and the scheduling of the project. Nonetheless, I have also played an active role in the project development, from concept contouring to graphic presentation.

As mentioned before, the morphology of the floorplan creates outdoor spaces of different sizes, making room for a variety of outdoor activities and opportunities.
The materiality is moreover used in defining the different function of the buildings comprised in the complex.
The green outdoor environment is brought into the building through large windows facing the inner gardens, as well as green walls placed throughout the common facilities of the nursing home.
Functionally, the nursing home is divided in 2 areas: an administrative building that houses common facilities such as a cafe, a training center and the staff areas, and a housing area comprised of two clusters.
The building takes reference to the surroundings by carrying the geometry of the neighboring buildings. Therefore, the gable roof acts as a connector, grounding the new establishment in the existing environment.
Each of the two clusters contains 12 apartment units with adjacent common facilities. The individual apartments are generous in size, with features that propose and make way for an intimate and personalized environment in the living areas.
The materiality of the building carries the narrative of the relationship between the existing and the new, while at the same time proposes a new material that contributes to the coziness of the home. Hence, brick is used in order to appeal to the collective memory of the site, while the elements of timber help in bringing a warmth home-like feeling to the living units.

Nonetheless, each housing unit opens directly to the outside area through a generous terrace. The floor to ceiling windows bring abundant light into the room, while the overhang provides shelter from the rain.

GLOSTRUP PARISH Church Parish // Glostrup, DENMARK // Competition // Team: Povilas Dumcius[Creo Arkitekter], Jakob Jakobsen [Creo Arkitekter], Jes Johansen [Creo Arkitekter], Katrine Brandt [Thing Brandt Landskab]
In architectural history, the task of designing a church and its parish has been one of the most prestigious project an architect can undertake. Today, this task faces the challenge of a society undergoing fundamental changes in it’s core values. Therefore, society today places the church’s function at the intersection between spiritual life and the community. The Concept Our task for this project was to design the Parish for an existing church in Glostrup, a landmark for the city that dates back to the 11th century. The Parish should at the same house both administrative and gardening functions, but also act as an active meeting space for the local community. From Vision to Form To dwell on the idea of achieving a narrative between the city and the parish, outdoor as well as indoor spaces were considered. In this sense, the entrance to the parish has been oriented towards the city, By doing so, room was made for a space for interaction that joins together the parking, the entrance to the parish, and the entrance to the pathway that leads to the church. Regardless their intention once they reach the site, people will always pass through the plaza, making it an active element for the city. In order to ground the new complex in the collective memory of the locals, the materiality of the Parish is
derived from the materiality found on site. Therefore, the paving in the proposed landscape is a reference to the granite stones found in the cemetery wall. However, the modernity of the copper facades contrast the materiality of the church, but at the same time harmoniously blends into the colour palette of the surroundings. Moving towards the inside of the building, the transition between the inside and outside space is made dragging the granite stones that form the paving of the plazza are inside the foyer. Nonetheless, way finding has been another key element in the design of the parish, as the building houses both public and administrative functions. Therefore, the complex is comprised of two wings: a public and an administrative wing. The public functions are oriented towards the south bound street, taking over the entire public facade. On the other side of the building, the administrative functions have been placed on two floors, having a closer connection to the church both visually and physical. Personal Involvement My responsibilities for this project fell in the categories of concept design, project management and presentation.

Roof Geometry
The morphology of the parish consists of two longitudinal buildings, slightly titled to follow the line of the church on the north, and that of the street, to the south, making room for a double floor connector space, placed between the two functions. The public wing of the building is a single floor space, with a raised ceiling that resembles the geometry of the church roof. This shape dwells upon the collective memory of society, by referencing a common housing typology for the Danish society: the bitched roof house. By using this geometry, the room will offer a feeling of cosiness and familiarity to the visitor, while at the same time house a potential for multi use due to the heightened centre of the rooms’ ceiling. Therefore, and adaptable space is created,
a space that offers the opportunity to cater to the needs of society. The administrative wing however, is divided in two floors, making maximum use of the space by using the total height of the building.
All together, the buildings stands as a humble yet attractive landmark for the city, providing both the Church and the locals with the spaces they need.
The two wings are tied together by e double height atrium that doubles up as a reception and a cafe. The building’s roof and facade in copper cladding provide a uniform and harmonious building in interaction with the Church, by continuing materiality found on site. The facades are designed to facilitate window openings towards the plaza, the green surroundings or the sky.

the double height of the room, together with the covering flat roof are a physical expression of the public role of the connecting atrium
although having double height, by pitching the roof the public wing of the parish becomes a cosy space suitable for multiple uses
the administrative wing makes use of the full height of the building by lowering the ceiling and introducing a new floor, therefore making distances between the administrative functions shorter

SENIOR CAMPUS Residential // Copenhagen, DENMARK // Private Developer // Team: Anders Kærgaard [Creo Arkitekter], Camilla Seidel [Creo Arkitekter], Jes Johansen [Creo Arkitekter], Veronika Knor [Creo Arkitekter]
The vision for Senior Campus is to create a habitat suitable for the lifestyle of active seniors. The Concept Our client had a clear vision about the principles that he would like to integrate in the project, both psychologically as well as architecturally. His inspiration were American precedence of similar dwellings. The American precedences took shape in tall residential towers, with a great number of social functions on the lower floors, and a well maintained service staff that attends to the inhabitant’s needs. However, when translating this idea into a Danish context, we needed to be aware not only of the local architectural traditions, but also the lifestyle and life habits of the danes. Thorough modern times, high rise architecture has been oftenly frowned upon by the Danish society. Moreover, the Danes pride themselves as being a community of people that cherish nature, and the outdoor environment. Therefore, key aspects such as: human scale nature light have become essential in shaping the concept. These elements, together with features such as connectivity and easy access have formed to core of the project. From Vision to Form Within the danish environment, the classic solution that solves the problem of connectivity: vertical staking, is not ideal, as keeping to a human scale is preferred.
Therefore we have transposed the vertical connectivity seen in our American references, into a horizontal one by placing all social functions on the ground floors. The connectivity has been maintained through a covered outdoor space, in this way integrating both what the client wanted - connectivity, and what the residents want - nature. Variety of apartment sizes, light orientation and green - natural elements have been main features for the architecture of our project. The variation in apartment sizes - which range from 80 sqm to 200 sqm - has shaped the vertical staking of our building. The bigger apartments have been placed on the ground floors. On these, smaller apartments have been gradually stacked. By using this formula, the geometry gives the opportunity of placing large terraces for each apartment. Moreover, we have taken inspiration in urban walks around Copenhagen, to propose a natural route crossing the rooftop of one of the spiraled buildings. In this way, the building itself has become part of the outdoor experience. During the process of the project, I have not only worked on the project itself, but also maintained the client contact and contact with the landscape team. I have worked with concept development, detailed design as well as the management of the project. Nonetheless, I have developed new skills such as client communication, scheduling and budgeting.

NUUK ART HUB Exhibition Space and Art Hub // Nuuk, GREENLAND // Master Thesis // Group Project // Supervisors: Mads Dines Petersen, Peter Vilhem Nielsen
With its strategic location and the institution it houses, the proposal of the Art Hub triggers the start of a relevant discussion about how the future of the Greenlandic Culture will be shaped, and to what extent will local traditions be embraced in a modern development. ‘By creating ‘a view’, ‘a destination’ and ‘an event’ a platform opens up and reinvents itself as a place for cultural consumption in a novel way’. Therefore, Nuuk Art Hub carries its role in society by responding to the Inuit’s ambition of taking charge of their own future. This intention is achieved by accommodating the means through which the locals express their desire: art. The local artistic movement, as well as the intention of the Municipality to develop a new National Gallery for the city, are therefore brought together under one roof, establishing the function of the new proposal as a cultural event. Situated on the waterfront of the fjord, on raised ground, the topography proposes the site as emblematic for the city. The building is placed on the edge of the cliff, thus being perceived as a landmark not only at a sociocultural level, but also visually when seen from the waterfront. Although having a distinctive identity, the building becomes an integrated part of the natural scene by immersing into the ground and by having a humble composition when approached from the perspective of the street.
Perception of the Place The culminating point of the site’s narrative is materialized in the unique perspective visible from the top of the roof terrace. This vista is also expressed in the interior of the building, where the atrium frames the surrounding landscape and brings it within. A Platform for Knowledge The unique function of the Art Hub promotes knowledge through its three main programmes: the informative [National Gallery], the lucrative [the workshop spaces], as well as the educative [the classrooms]. Informed Building In a discussion with local base engineering and architecture practices, the practice of unsuitable building strategies has been pointed out. This is due to the unavailability of local resources, making it expensive to acquire the necessarily material. However, the building strategy maintained throughout the project has shown that sustainable building in the given context is indeed plausible. Through passive strategies and the implementation of active strategies such as geothermal energy and solar panels, the building meets 2015 goals, and the possibility for reaching Zero Energy Consumption during summer months is a reality. Personal Involvement By working in a two person group, both members have been able to participate in all project related tasks. However, my role has focused on the architectural premise of the project, while my colleague has focused on technical details.

HATLEHOL PARISH Church // Alesund, NORWAY // University Project // Group: David Drazil, Helle Toft, Nadia Skærgaard, Pavlina Svedlakova// Supervisor: Claus Kristensen, Dario Parigi
By dwelling upon a tectonic approach, the proposal for the Hatlehol Parish, harmoniously merges the construing with the constructed aspect of architecture. The point of departure in the design process has been the formulation of the desired gestures of invitation, safety and ascendance, gestures that strongly influence the architecture of the proposal throughout all design stages. The Concept In an effort to achieve the initial social and architectural goals, a holistic approach was proposed. The approach emphasises on both the technical and the architectural aspects, while experimenting with a great number of analyses regarding statics, acoustics, lighting, as well as human perception have been made. Nordic design has been highly emphasised in all architectural and technical considerations. The Church is desired to work as a landmark, while at the same time relate to the human scale, a key feature of Nordic Architecture. From Form to Function A study of the phenomenological interpretation of various buildings heights and their perception from the human perspective has been an important driver in the initial design stage. Moreover, an analysis of distances between building volumes is considered. Hence, the
volumetric composition is rendered in accordance to the human scale and human perception. Moreover, the proposed structural system is a synthesis between load bearing systems analysed in the preliminary stage. The chosen system consists of two structural parts which cooperate and mutually eliminate their weak features. The problematic of acoustics was taken into consideration in the development of the geometry of the Church Room. During the analysis, various iterations of the wall and roof configurations have been tested, the most efficient proving to be that of the fractured surfaces which help in breaking the continuity of the convex curvature of the outer wall. Conclusively, the end result is a structure which supports the concept and gestures, as well as the dynamic movement through facade fragmentation. This fragmentation permits light infiltration into the church room and positively influences the acoustics of the geometry. Personal Involvement In the project, I have worked with the parametric design of the structural system, and the design of the Church complex. At a delivery level, I have done sections, elevations, diagrams and floorplans.

stage. The chosen system consists of two structural parts which cooperate and mutually eliminate their weak features.
A main road frames the Northern boundary of the site providing several possibilities for access. Moreover, the boundary towards the West is given by a narrow water stream. The natural landscape of the site proposes a peak point, which has been integrated in the new proposal as will be used as a stage for outdoor ceremonies and events.
Moreover, the Church is desired to work as a landmark, while at the same time relate to the human scale, a key feature of Nordic Architecture. Hence, a study of the phenomenological interpretation of various buildings and their heights is provided in order to understand the relation to the human scale. With consideration to the interior of the Church room, the height is designed to inspire a feeling ascendency towards divinity. This design intention is not only materialized in the interior of the Church room, but also shapes the geometry of the complex.
Therefore, glue laminated timber frames are arrayed along the outline curve of the building. Dwelling upon a honest approach on the structural solution as to reflect Northern traditions, the frames serve as the primary load bearing system.
As a result of the analysis of the given location, as well as taking into consideration the requirements given in the brief, the existing parking lots are not sufficient for the new

In addition, rigid joints are designed as a solution for the frame lateral stability in plane. These segments open the facade towards the exterior and emphasize the dynamic ascending movement along the focal point of the complex, hence playing an important role not only in the structure of the building, but also for its architectural intention.
