As a part of the Aarhus Harbor Masterplan, AARhus, a 26,000 m2 residential building sits on the very tip of the Bassin 7 pier, offering views to the bay, harbor, nature and city. The architectural approach of AARhus is derived from mixing the most dominant typologies of the existing urban mass in Aarhus city, courtyard buildings, row houses and towers, all in one architectural entity.
Each corner of the building peaks in various heights, and a stepped roof scape creates large private terraces for elevated outdoor activities. On the facades continuous balconies wrap around the building, only to be punctuated by smaller balconies inside the courtyard.
PLOT
— The building plot of AARhus is located on the very tip of the manmade island of Ø4 surrounded by water on three sides.
ENVELOPE
— Based on the constraints of the local plan, the overall envelope peaks in four different heights.
COURTYARD
— By carving out the center of the envelope, the frame of a courtyard typology appears.
CANAL HOUSES & MARITIME ALLOTMENT
— In the periphery of the ground floor, canal houses and maritime allotment units wrap around the plinth and help breathe new life into the surrounding streetscape.
RESIDENTIAL UNITS
— From first floor upward, residential units are planned - all with optimal sunlight conditions and magnificent views to the water, harbor and city.
ROOF TERRACES
— A stepped roof creates the setting for optimal elevated outdoor space with direct access from all penthouse units.
AARHUS RESIDENCES
— The 26,000 m2 residential building offers phenomenal views to the bay, harbor, nature and city.
At street level the building offers double height units containing both maritime allotment spaces and spaces for commercial use. These units cover the parking areas hidden in the central plinth of the building and most importantly, create a lively façade towards the street.
Skyline art of well-known buildings by Daniel Van Der Noon graces the hallways.
The green heart of AARhus, offers a shared allotment garden for growing vegetables and fruit trees.
