Tegnustuen Lokal, a Danish architecture studio, revamped an old apartment block in Copenhagen to replace its outdated concrete exterior. The building was built in the 1960s and boasts six stories. To increase its curb appeal, the architects inserted angular plant-filled blocks to the building's facade. The architects apply named the project Ørsted Gardens.
The team on the project replaced the long lengths of concrete with 50 glazed blocks to modernize the old apartment. While the revamp provides an aesthetic benefit, the blocks are also balconies, providing dwellers with outdoor spaces to observe the street below and take in some sunshine. Moreover, the plant-filled blocks included additional garden space for apartment owners to grow their choice of plants.
