RØNDE

In 2002, the Danish Architects Association and the Municipality of Rønde announced an open architectural competition for the planning of a new residential area outside the town Rønde. Rønde is an attractive town near woods and water, and within commuting distance of Aarhus. The aim was to create a plan that took both development possibilities and natural resources into account.

Our proposal was based on the idea of using the ​​turning space at the end of the road in traditional single-family housing areas in Denmark. By using the turning space as small town squares with various activities and creating several housing typologies surrounding the square, we wanted to create a new interpretation of a very traditional living arrangement.

The site contained a number of areas with unstable subsoil, which at the beginning of the development would be used for creating landscaped parks and subsequently developed when the need would arise.
