CONSTRUCTION:

The Opera Park, Copenhagen, Denmark

DESCRIPTION:

‎The provisional parking area under the cranes on the North Island is to be abolished and replaced by a permanent underground car park on the South Island. A private and publicly accessible park is being created above this new multi-storey car park – to complement the harbour’s existing recreational spaces.

The project also includes a greenhouse with a café, which will be heated using nine geothermal probes, each measuring 200 m. The underground car park and the park above it form a sustainable and cost-efficient cycle. Rainwater is reused for irrigation, while the parking revenues fund operation and maintenance of the park. What’s more, solar panels on the roof of the opera house ensure a climate-neutral power supply for car parks, cafes and parks.
