Project action 3: A new contemporary habitat with experimental low-rise family housing, multi-storey buildings for assembled dwellings, common open spaces and local services, including floating houses, off-shore wind&solar units for zero-energy housing strings, multifunctional typologies, leisure indoor and outdoor sport facilities, horticultural areas.

All low-rise family housing typologies of the contemporary habitat are intended to promote innovative relations between working and living, including forms of job sharing, home- and e-working. The low rise family typologies proposed in the project are 6, different for size and composition, including a typology of floating house to be used on the water of the dismissed harbour basins. All typologies are flexible for additional work and living spaces and fully compatible to be assembled, producing a large set of different combination.

Density, scale and urban fabric of the low-rise housing sectors in the contemporary habitat are referring to the fishermen’s village of fiskerihavnen. The old village is fully integrated into the new settlement.

The urban fabric of the contemporary habitat is proposed in height, width and section in order to maximise the winter solar radiation at the ground floor.

Some low-rise sectors are assembled in experimental zero-energy housing 69
