Text description provided by the architects. A sense of community, visible sustainability, and integrated artwork are among the most important elements in this student housing association department that shows a well-designed example of how to build dense, relevant, and green. Copenhagen-based ADEPT is the design architect behind the 130 DGNB Gold-certified studios and small family homes in Aarhus DK. Completed in 2020, Dept.76. was designed for a local housing association, with the aim to reduce loneliness through opportunities to engage in social activities within the complex. From the courtyard to the roof terrace, the complex is characterized by community-based solutions and by building-integrated art, which adorns walls, corridors, and stairs throughout.
