Architects: URBAN POWER

The Symbiosis Houses, the first project within the Housing Laboratory, is taking shape as a pilot for a new approach to urban living. Led by URBAN POWER and Wihlborgs, the project explores how housing can be integrated with workplaces, food production and the sharing economy. By bringing these functions together, the development seeks to create a more connected and resource-conscious model of neighbourhood living.

Tea house Ø
Design: PAN- PROJECTS

photo : David Hug oCabo
Teahouse Ø is conceived as an architectural exploration of water and the shifting phenomena it creates within space. Reflections across the water’s surface, changing weather conditions and the movement of light throughout the day continually transform both the interior atmosphere and the building’s external appearance. As a result, the architecture remains in constant dialogue with its surroundings, with its spatial character and visual expression changing in response to light, weather and the passage of time.

Being satisfied tenants in The Iceberg, an award-winning housing project in Aarhus, DK, the owners of the summer house addressed CEBRA. They wanted small-scale houses designed with the same high level of architectural ambition. This is an architectural interpretation of the Russian babushka doll.
