At Lisbjerg Bakke, innovative residential construction, warm timber surfaces and a simple Aluzinc roof profile come together

At Lisbjerg Bakke, just outside Aarhus, stands a residential development that continues to distinguish itself within Danish construction. The social housing was completed in spring 2018 and built as Denmark’s first four-storey timber buildings, comprising 35 family homes and 3 homes for young people. The apartment building is constructed almost entirely from timber and demonstrates how modern residential architecture can explore new approaches to materials.

Pandeplade 22-270 in Aluzinc was used for the roof. The simple steel profile sits unobtrusively over the building, creating a precise contrast with the timber’s warm, natural appearance. DS Stålprofil supplied approximately 2,000 m² of steel profiles for the project in total.

The development was honoured with the City of Aarhus Architecture Award in autumn 2018. This recognised a project in which timber and steel form a modern whole – simple, carefully considered and with a clear architectural vision.
