Student Housing for BaseCamp Student

Student campus BaseCamp Lyngby is built on a relatively flat site while being well integrated into green Lyngby neighborhood. The building rises slowly from ground level to the maximum height of six floors, inviting both inhabitants and visitors to enjoy the multiple green courtyards or to take a stroll along the serpentine path running in full length at the roof. Great views and gardens make for an interesting walk in the park like landscape. The curved shape of the building wraps around smaller courtyards creating well defined intimate spaces for the students to meet, read or simply relax.

Production Technology

The building is certified at a DGNB Denmark “silver level”. The green roof provides a rainwater buffer, purifies the air, reduces the ambient temperature and saves energy. The facade is Rock Panel Durable and is certified BRE (Building Research Establishment) Class A+. 90 % of the energy of extracted air is reused in heating. Floor constructions accumulate heat during the day and minimize the need for heating at night. Facades are glazed in full height, so spaces are bathed in sun and daylight.

Design Challenge

The biggest creative challenge in this project was to create interesting and context inspired architecture by keeping the costs very low. In order to achieve that, only one module would be repeated in ways that could create organic shapes. After a few months of research the trapezoid shape was invented. This repetitive module creates the organic looking serpentine structure playfully positioned around old vegetation that existed on the plot.

Project Duration

Construction start 06/01/2018 Expected construction completion date 08/01/2020 Location: Skovbrynet 2, 2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark

Operation Flow

Basecamp Lyngby is a serviced campus run by a team known as Basebuddies. All rooms are furnished and have private bathrooms. The majority have their own kitchenette to. The interior design is made by Studio Aisslinger and provides great qualities in the rooms and common areas. Common areas are designed to enhance social interaction. In the curved main building as kitchens and living rooms. The round central building is made solely for the students to meet and contains space for play, party, fitness, lectures and studying.

Research

The location is in the midst of beautiful nature, close to Lyngby Lake and the Unesco preserved park “Dyrehaven”. The city center and Denmark's Technical University (DTU) are reachable by bike within a few minutes. A 1000 bike parking spaces encourage the use of the greenest transport possible and the train station located nearby adds to this – thereby also making the capital, Copenhagen, reachable within only 20 minutes. The lake is just by the southern side of the plot, which provides the opportunity to hike, sail or kayak within a short reach. Since the project is relatively large for the area, it has been an ambition to give something back by making the roof park accessible for the public, and in that way improve and attract the local community in relation to social, economic, and environmental aspects.

Inspiration

The concept and the organic form were inspired by the context. This part of the city has a very natural and green character that the building is in harmony with. The idea was to bring students closer to the nature and motivate them to interact with it. The project had to satisfy the low-cost an sustainability demand. A trapezoid repeatable shaped module that rotates differently within the same radius was invented, creating the round organic shaped structure. The structure is uninterruptedly running all the way through the site, creating a walking path in the nature on top of the building.
