This diverse mix of occupants forms the foundation of a vibrant and robust community and neighborhood.

UN17 Village will be DGNB-certified to Gold/Platinum level with DGNB Heart and WELL certifications.
The project has been developed by NREP in collaboration with Sweco Architects, Lendager Group, MOE, and C.G. Jensen.
The human scale
UN17 Village is based on the human scale, and therefore the vision is to downsize the traditional city block into smaller, vibrant neighborhoods with inner courtyards and passages.
The facades of the five buildings in UN17 Village are all designed based on a concept of diversity, identity, and community. Each of the five block buildings has its distinctive identity, which is expressed concretely through various color profiles and architectural expressions.
All buildings share a common feature of a horizontal façade division that presents a modernized version of classical references, reminiscent of the historical block buildings in Copenhagen.
