Part of a comprehensive masterplan for the Molestien area, this housing development is defined by its distinctive curved façade, which gracefully follows the paths of both Bådehavnsgade and the adjacent railway. The sloping roof forms, inspired by the aesthetics of the local marina, create a subtle transition towards the smaller scale typology of Bådehavnen. Together with a neighboring student housing complex, the buildings frame a shared landscaped courtyard at the center, fostering community and connection.

A large roof terrace offers panoramic views of the harbor, while an internal communal area at ground level provides additional social space for residents.

The façade is clad in light-colored brick, with a slightly darker base at street level. Vertical divisions define each façade unit, while variations in windows, balconies, and entrance canopies create a harmonious yet dynamic rhythm across the building as a whole.

The apartments are thoughtfully designed for modern living, with open-plan living and dining areas and configurations ranging from one to four bedrooms, maximizing comfort, flexibility, and daylight throughout.
