About Living Places

Living Places Copenhagen, the first prototype built by VELUX in partnership with EFFEKT, Artelia, and Enemærke & Petersen. The exhibition consists of seven prototypes – five open pavilions and two finished homes in full scale, showing our take on healthy and sustainable homes.

Living Places Copenhagen shows how to build sustainably by rethinking how we build today and challenges the building industry to accelerate responsible and sustainable solutions. The Living Places concept has Denmark's lowest CO2 footprint and a first-class indoor climate, demonstrating that we don't have to wait for future technology to build homes that benefit both people and planet.

 

 

 

Explore the Living Places Copenhagen Houses

Please note that each of the two full-scale houses has a limited capacity, so lines and waiting time to enter the houses will be expected.

To ensure that everyone can see all the houses you will only have 15 minutes to explore each house.

The Fælleshaven's pre-germination and seed booth

Come by our stall and learn how to germinate vegetable and flower seeds. You are allowed to take it all home, so the seeds can continue to grow on the windowsill or out in the garden. 

You can also let your senses explore our fantastic seed collection. Some seeds are striped, others almost look like small animals. Can you guess which seeds become which plants?

 

 

 

Support biodiversity at a Bybi Honey Ceremony

A sustainable planet relies on a healthy and diverse eco-system. What better way to celebrate Earth Day than taking part in a Honey Ceremony hosted by Bybi, who cultivate a system where bees, flowers, and people thrive. 

Do your part to create a better environment for pollinating insects while getting creative!

• Take part in a collective work of art, pledging your commitment to plant more flowers for all pollinating insects and become a co-creator of a city where bees, flowers and people thrive.
• Taste honey from different parts of the city, personalize your very own honey jar label and take it home with you.
