79 m2 apartment on Yderlandsvej

A new strand is being drawn on Amager: Området sits where the former railway lines of Amagerbanen once ran and where new green corridors will emerge, a housing development rooted in the open landscape of Østamager and the area's industrial past. Where freight trains used to pass through a raw, flat terrain, Området now frames everyday life with a combination of architectural clarity and the wide horizon of nature. The project emphasises connections-between city and countryside, history and the present, and people and their surroundings-and provides direct access to Amager Fælled, close proximity to the metro and the city centre. With a nearby metro station, it is only 10 minutes to Indre By and 5 minutes to the airport. Located in one of Copenhagen's most sought-after districts, Amager Strandpark is a few minutes' walk away, offering long promenades, sandy beaches and year-round activities, while shops, institutions and leisure facilities are plentiful and green outdoor spaces surround the buildings.

Housing in Området is varied and carefully planned. There are 92 modern minimal apartments, each a one-room home with its own private terrace or balcony, designed for a simple, convenient lifestyle with good daylight and contemporary materials. These compact units also prioritise communal life: residents have access to shared amenities including a swap room for giving items a second life, a common room with kitchen for social events, and shared laundry facilities that double as social meeting places. The minimal homes are particularly aimed at students, young people and others seeking an active urban life with both privacy and a close neighbourhood community. The site's tower block contains 23 bright two-room apartments, each provided with a private terrace or balcony, an open living area, a separate bedroom and large windows that invite daylight and views. Its placement fosters a calm atmosphere and balances privacy with communal life, making these units suitable for couples, singles and seniors. The main residential block, or boligkarréen, comprises 92 apartments ranging from 2 to 5 rooms, all featuring private balconies or terraces, and several units even include private roof terraces. Thanks to the location near Øresund, a number of these homes enjoy a clear sea view. The block's layout forms a protected courtyard that functions as a green social hub for residents.

At street level the block accommodates commercial spaces that bring activity to the public realm, suitable for small cafés, specialty shops, office co-working or similar uses; the premises are designed with large shopfront windows and direct access from the street to ensure visibility and draw both residents and visitors. The development includes landscaped communal outdoor areas with playgrounds for children and seating zones with benches and planting-places intended for picnics and informal encounters that help build community across the different housing types. Practical arrangements for parking are provided in an underground parking garage that contains spaces for cars and bicycles and offers the possibility of charging electric vehicles.
