Information

Study for a "garden city" masterplan in Mörarp close to Helsingborg. 
The site is located at a hill with magnificent views of the surrounding landscape and Söderåsen. The idea is to create a  green loop, which takes advantage of the position at the edge of the hill,  used for recreation and binding together different adjacent green areas..
Towards the noisy infrastructure, and to protect the area from the prevailing winds  from the west, the plan is based on two L-shaped walls of rowhouses. The row houses creates a protective barrier  and has a south facing facade used for gardens and urban farming. Inside "the wall" the plan is based on a deformed grid to create an interesting urban environment with mainly single family dwelling units. Each street has its own unique form. Some of the street perforate "the wall" to provide views of the surrounding landscape.
