386 words. BIG fulfills the “Homes for All” mission for the non-profit affordable housing association Lejerbo with the 6,800 m2 winding wall in Copenhagen’s multicultural northwest area. The building offers 66 new homes to low-income citizens featuring unprecedented 3.5 m ceilings, generous floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor terraces, realized on a strict budget. Named after its address, Dortheavej in the northwest part of Copenhagen, the five-story building winds through the area characterized by car repair shops, storage and industrial buildings from the 1930s-50s. BIG was commissioned to design Dortheavej in 2013 by the Danish non-profit affordable housing association Lejerbo, whose mission was drafted by the Danish urban space designer Jan Gehl. BIG was asked to create much-needed public space in the area, while keeping the pedestrian passageways open and the adjacent green space untouched.
