— Væksthuset

Væksthuset (Greenhouse) is a lighthouse project, highlighting the need and potential of green, educational and regenerative spaces in the hearts of our cities.

The new event- and educational space is built around the transformation of the 100-year-old propagation greenhouses from the Copenhagen Botanical Gardens. The greenhouses were rescued on the brink of demolition and transported to the new location at Jernbanebyen.

The pavilion will include vital learning spaces for children and adults, inspiring and passing down climate focused knowledge of reduction, regenerative and resilient practices.

The greenhouses will aspire to become a desired location for sustainability events and initiatives, helping people and organizations to learn and grow sustainably, together.

A space inviting entrepreneurs, visitors and the local community to reconnect with nature and learn the importance of nurturing ecosystems for current and future generations. A clubhouse space to congregate and explore regenerative futures for our cities in the face of the climate crisis.

Væksthuset is selected as official pavillion for the 2023 UIA World Congress of Architecture.
