Designed as a connector between Copenhagen’s Nordhavnen neighborhood and Holmen, the inhabitable bridge, Boligbroen, rises as a stratified and condensed piece of urban space.

By constructing a traffic bridge using apartments and office space as the main construction instead of concrete or steel, the bridge becomes an object for private investment, offering a large amount of new square meters in attractive, but already dense locations. The top of the bridge would accommodate vehicular traffic, cars, bikes and pedestrians, allowing crossing passengers spectacular views of the Copenhagen skyline, across the port and all the way to Sweden. Right below the street, a layer of parking. The rest of the bridge would become a kilometer long slab of housing and offices.

From the restaurants and bars just below the street and sidewalks, people can enjoy a panoramic view of the historic fortress at Trekroner and the skyline of Copenhagen. At the next level a commercial and residential program unfold providing access to the green terraces at the foot of the bridge where waterbuses, small ferries and boats are passing by.
