Just around the corner from Amagerbrogade, “Vertikal Have” will fill in today-“hole” in the classic Copenhagen street profile. The new building’s design is respectful of the existing context - closing the large block volume and recalling the classical windows and facade details -, but at the same time increases its architectural quality.

“The new extraordinary green facade creates a pleasant microclimate, contributes to biodiversity and conveys a green and innovative narrative to the existing context.”

In addiction to the spectacular green design, the building brings a wide range of sustainable initiatives, such as wood facade cladding and rooftop gardens.

Vertikal Have wants to offer young people a healthy and sustainable environment through high-quality apartments, made of sustainable materials and with the opportunity of their own minimal garden in form of integrated plant cassettes.

“With the new building, Amager will be given a new landmark by virtue of its honest detailing and innovative approach to sustainability.”
