EJBOVÆNGE HOUSING

Ejbovænge consists of approximately 48 newly built social housing units and an accompanying community house, which, with its dual function as a hub, aims to open up to the surrounding town. A meeting place that invites people from the neighborhood in. The establishment of the community house is a natural extension of research and innovation activities we have been conducting in collaboration with Boligselskabet Sjælland since 2022.

The homes are being built as row houses in one- and two-story blocks and will, with a variety of types and sizes, accommodate a diverse mix of residents.

SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES MINIMIZING WASTE

The structural shells are being constructed with a focus on bio-based materials, such as timber frame constructions with roof trusses and facades of heat-treated timber. The design phase and execution of the structural shell is centered around the design tool CARPENT, developed by BRAV consulting engineers. With CARPENT, all the wooden elements of the houses are precision-cut from a 3D model, after which they are delivered to the construction site as assembly kits that can be easily and quickly assembled. From the beginning of the process, CARPENT can predict the wood consumption, cost, and buildability, and adjustments can be easily made along the way, avoiding costly and time-consuming changes on-site. Material consumption and waste are reduced, and the homes are built with a lower carbon footprint than conventional wooden construction.
