A 74-acre housing development under construction in the town of Horsholm, 20 minutes north of Copenhagen, Denmark. The project, which will include 320 units at buildout, comprises nine independent clusters of townhomes, each enclosing shared parking/service courts and separated by green “fingers” linking them to the landscape. The environmentally sensitive project employs green building and design techniques. Each cluster is laid out longitudinally, and most are narrower toward the open green areas and wider toward the town, allowing allows more units to stretch out into the landscape while allowing the landscape to reach far into the development. The clusters are oriented to ensure that maximum natural light reaches all units.
