Lisbjerg Hill is a social housing complex in a suburb of Aarhus with a prefabricated, flexible, and reversible hybrid wood construction system. The project was designed to exemplify a new holistic approach for a better building practice, encompassing a wide range of sustainability parameters (energy, carbon footprint, durability, community building). 

The Vindmøllebakken project is an innovative response to the need for socially sustainable living spaces that reduce the carbon footprint and enhance residents' quality of life. It is constructed entirely from wood and features privately owned apartments (40 co-living homes, 10 apartments and 4 townhouses) surrounding a shared 500m2 space with various amenities, including a spacious indoor courtyard. The project is designed to promote a sense of community and encourage social interactions among residents.
