Designing Amphitrite

Architects CF Möller and Förstberg Ling, together with urban planning firm Softer, have been commissioned to design Amphitrite. Parts of the existing warehouse building are preserved to highlight traces of the area's harbour history. The new building boasts welcoming entrances and a vibrant interior to create inviting living environments for students and residents alike.

Amphitrite is based on a circular approach with the aim of reusing or recycling the existing buildings and structures as much as possible. Health and well-being will be promoted through natural daylight, views, accessible outdoor environments and pleasant working environments.
