Basecamp Lyngby is a socially interacting super structure and will function as a sustainable shared living community for 900 students, PhDs and senior citizens.
BaseCamp Lyngby’s organic structure is inspired by the surrounding green area and a desire to bring people closer to the nature, and motivate them to interact with it and with one another. It is a social organism designed to be a catalyst for bringing people of all ages together for social interaction, as well as quiet immersion.
The project is articulated with an entrance from the north that reveals a stunning view of the sculptural, organic volume that rises slowly from the ground level and welcomes people into the area. They are invited into the court yards or inspired to take a stroll of the publicly accessible, green roof landscape.
Building is certified to DGNB System Denmark level gold, with its green roof, solar panels and gardens for grocery growing.
