Case: Living Places by VELUX
Year: 2023
Location: Copenhagen SV, Denmark
Products: Montana Selection, Montana System, and the Aveny-T chair
The buildings
The Living Places initiative comprises seven buildings, including five open pavilions and two fully constructed homes. These structures showcase the vision of creating residences that promote well-being and sustainability.
Colour Box and READ
Colour Box I is a flexible storage box on castors suitable for storing everything from books and various office supplies to plants. Exhibited here in the colour Hokkaido. READ is a spacious bookshelf composed of six individual modules. Exhibited in the colour Fennel.
Flexibility in the office space
This Montana System composition consists of a 1112 shelf module and a top box in the colour Juniper. Putting the module on wheels makes it a flexible piece for the office space.
The concept
In collaboration with EFFEKT and Artelia, VELUX introduced the Living Places concept as an innovative approach to contemporary construction methods. The aim is to challenge the building industry and create responsible and regenerative solutions that benefit both individuals and the environment.

Materials and construction
Every aspect of the project, from materials to design and construction techniques, was meticulously chosen with the goal of minimizing environmental impact and enhancing human health. By carefully evaluating each decision made throughout the building's life cycle, the team managed to achieve a remarkable accomplishment: a carbon footprint three times smaller than that of an average single-family Danish house, while also delivering a superior indoor climate.
