NICE LE RAY features green roofs and fair-faced concrete high-rise buildings fitted with timber elements and embellished with Mediterranean plants grown in planters as well as directly in the ground below. We made a point of using durable materials in this project. The ochre colouring and the stone underline the architectural heritage of this housing complex in Nice, set between an urban boulevard on the one side and a landscaped park on the other.

Short presentation of your project
Æbeløen’s 146 residences - comprising townhouses and apartment buildings - inhabit the last vacant plot in Aarhus’ historic Øgade neighbourhood adjacent to the city’s botanical garden. Designed around a cobblestoned shared street and green courtyards, the design emerges from an architectural “sampling” of the urban context creating a significant interpretation of the surrounding architecture. Social diversity is a central value in the project and Æbeløen is designed as a public “shared space” opening the neighbourhood to community-oriented life. Rainwater collection combined with green facades is a recreational visible element that create an urban habitat for plants, birds, and insects.
