Apartments of the future – Designed with care

A large portion of the building materials used in Ripple Residence are biogenic materials, and special efforts have been made to incorporate energy-efficient solutions throughout the entire construction process. Upcycling materials from the Bruun Rasmussen building, a wooden structure that sequesters CO2, and energy optimization with comfort cooling and geothermal heating aren’t necessarily the easiest or fastest solutions in construction, but they are the right ones. For us, for you, and for the future.

Our goal is to create homes that are not only beautiful, modern, and comfortable for you, but that are also designed with the environment in mind and contribute positively to promoting sustainable construction. For you, this means you get a home where extra effort has been made to choose the right solutions—solutions that are not only beneficial for you, but also for our shared future.

Our vision for the construction project

Ripple Residence is developed by Nrep, and the building was designed by Henning Larsen Architects. Our vision is to create a low-carbon wooden building, where we manage the project with care for the planet from the very first shovel in the ground. We believe that the construction of the future lies in striking a balance between environmental responsibility and human comfort.

Throughout the project, we generate valuable insights that we actively share with the construction industry—an approach that is rare in a sector where lessons learned often remain internal. Ripple Residence is therefore involved in several partnerships focused on knowledge sharing and innovation. By & Havn, BioFacades:UpHigh, 5E, Søren Jensen, and Boligbyggeri fra 4 til 1 planet are just a few of the close partners who have advised us and shared their knowledge throughout the construction process.

The hope is that the insights gained from Ripple Residence will spread like ripples on water, inspire other construction projects, and contribute to a shared journey toward more responsible building practices that benefit the entire industry.

Behind the beautiful facades, conscious choices have been made to minimize environmental impact and reduce energy consumption. With its own solar panels, geothermal heating, comfort cooling, and biogenic materials, Ripple Residence has been thoughtfully designed. The project is DGNB-certified, and we are aiming for the highest level: DGNB Platinum. Here, you get not just a home, but a residence that strives to set a new standard for responsible construction.

Carefully crafted and designed for recycling

Wood is a key resource in the green transition, and it is also one of the central themes of Ripple Residence. This is far from everything you can see at a glance, as most of the elements traditionally made of concrete have been replaced by wood.

Wood is not only an extremely strong building material, but it also has natural insulating properties and is biodegradable, so it does not contribute to long-term environmental pollution.

Wooden structures sequester CO2 and require significantly less energy compared to the production of concrete and steel. We have designed the structure of Ripple Residence so that it can be disassembled and reused if it ever needs to be demolished. In this way, the wood can be reused multiple times, ensuring that resources are utilized optimally and waste is minimized.

Reused materials are given new life

To reduce the need for new resources, we have chosen to reuse materials from the iconic Bruun Rasmussen building. This breathes new life into existing materials while adding history and character to Ripple Residence.

Test

We upcycle concrete elements and reuse them in the entrance area of the stairwell.

The wooden floor from the Bruun Rasmussen building is being given a new lease on life in the stairwells.

The large, iconic windows will become part of the conservatory in the courtyard, which also serves as a common area. The conservatory will feature a floor made of reclaimed tiles and a main structure built from reclaimed wood.

Recycled flooring, door handles, and metal panels from the Bruun Rasmussen building are being used in the construction project.

The terraces are paved with recycled hardwood decking boards of extra-heavy gauge and high quality.

Low energy consumption and high comfort with advanced energy technology

Ripple Residence is expected to receive an A2020 energy rating, which means the building meets the requirements for what is known as a low-energy building. For you, this means you’ll be living in a building with energy consumption below the standards set by building codes, and that you’ll enjoy a comfortable indoor climate all year round.

The reason the building is classified as low-energy is the advanced energy solutions integrated into its design. Ripple Residence has its own heating and cooling system.

The geothermal heating system efficiently harnesses the earth’s natural heat to warm the building, while the comfort cooling system ensures that your home is always at a comfortable temperature. To maximize energy efficiency, solar panels have been installed on the roof to supply the building with electricity.
