The project is located in Marstal, an old port town on Ærø, and utilises an existing plot of land with 12 single-family houses. The general idea is based on a Danish interpretation of the “Half Farmer, Half X” philosophy, first proposed by Naoki Shiomi in the mid-1990s.
With sustainability in mind, the steel frames in each greenhouse are repurposed from the botanical gardens in Copenhagen, and are said to have been shipped to Marstal by a crew of volunteers on board the local superstar coaster vessel Samka
The greenhouses and the small outdoor farmbeds have enough garden space to sustain an estimated population of 18 adults and 12 children, although the composition of the village demographics is flexible. Given enough time to develop, the plot could potentially produce excess vegetables as a sourceofincome.Poultryandbeesarealsoplanned as part of the project, to bolster the capacity for partial self-sufficiency of the small community.
The communal building in the centre of the plot serves as shared kitchen facilites and general utility needs. There is a lot to be gained from shared labour and collective dining, especially a significant reduction of waste. The house features a dining table on rails, enabling a fluid shift between indoor and outdoor recreation throughout the year.

Each greenhouse is built around the load bearing structure of the repurposed steel frames, each of which are placed on screw piles in intervals of 3600 mm. Concrete blocksareutilisedatthebaseofeachwallto withstand significant amounts of moisture. By making use of repurposed materials, parts of the original tectonic qualities are retained, even as they are integrated into a different,modularapproachtoconstruction.
The communal building adheres to more traditional means of construction, as it consists of a CLT frame structure, placed on a solid concrete foundation. The reason behind the less experimental approach is mainly because of the Scandinavian weather, which is predominantly wet and cold. Good insulation is key to a lasting and energy efficient household. Arguably, the carbon heavy material expenses would be outweighed by the extensive use and accommodation of a large group of people, bringingtheactualconsumptionfootprintof the structure down significantly over time.
Future iterations of similar projects would ideally explore the integration of biogenic materials in the construction of all facilities, yet the driving philosophy of this approach to sustainability is to design space in such a way, as to encourage a more communal and efficient approach to energy and material consumption.
Self-sufficiency is sustainable.
Sharing space is sustainable.

Our annual 1:1 scale construction project was created over the span of two weeks with a group of friends, during an on-site workshop in Marstal. While working on the docks, we would analyse and register the town during our stay, assimilating into coastal town culture for a little while. We learned a lot about the local environment, architectural tradition, and the essential basics of timber construction. All materials used, were recycled from local businesses or previous projects.
