Climate-Friendly Waterfront Homes

From 4 to 1 Planet unveils three pavilions installed along the Copenhagen waterfront to highlight how radical materials and refreshing ways of living may help lower the carbon footprint of housing construction. The company displays three visions for the home of a futuristic mindset. It is made possible by different teams of architects, researchers, and engineers.
One of these highlights the potential of rammed earth, the second with a clay-block interior, and the third to efficiently use space. Founding partner at Leth & Gori, Uffe Leth notes that "We discovered both aesthetic and technical potentials in the combination of these materials. If we build tall buildings with these brick blocks, the thatched facades help us with extra insulation. That means we don't need to invest energy and resources on using deeper blocks or two layers of blocks to live up to the building regulations."
