Triangle of sustainability
Architects: Christensen & Co. Arkitekter
A zero-energy building for the same price as a ‘normal’ new-build is what the town of Hørsholm, close to Copenhagen, requested when they initiated the investor competition for a new kindergarten together with their project partner, VKR Holding. Their ambitions extended even further: the building was to be designed as an ‘active house’ – a building with an ample supply of daylight, a comfortable room climate and very good air quality for approximately 100 children and 30 adults. An appropriate name for the project was soon found – Solhuset, the ‘Sun House’.
