The Index Project
Copenhagen, Denmark

In a world in which social contact threatens to go lost by both the digital way of human contacts and building closed architecture, solutions are needed.

Simplycity is a project designed so that each house gets a piece of green surrounding with privacy and with the possibility of social contact. The recognition of people as users of their own surroundings is very important. No anonymous district, but recognizable surroundings. Natural material, gardens, playgrounds, greenness areas and everything that belongs there.

How the plan of the house will look, is left to be decided by the occupant himself. The owner can let his fantasy totally free. This principle becomes possible due to the application of the flexible system of raised floors, and movable partition walls.

The vertical park ensures that both buildings are passive and therefore no extra heating is necessary. This benefits both the users (financially) and the environment.

By the use of high-rise buildings there remains more free surrounding space where one can do something socially, like events, but also something with the environment, such as a green area.
