APARTMENTS IN
FREDET HØJ,
SORTHØJ
Hasseris in general consist mainly of single
family houses and few apartment buildings.
Sorthøj area acts as one big greenery on hill,
settlements are built sparsely to keep the
feeling of open space, freedom, nature and
privacy. Due the lack of density and good
views over the Hasseris on west, Fjord on the
north-west, countryside on the south-west,
area is different from the rest of the Hasseris
and makes Sorthøj exclusive from the rest of
the Aalborg.
AREA
Sorthøj area is surrounded by main roads from
the center to exit roads of the Aalborg and by
the roads which links to the highway E39,
Aalborg SV, SØ, Ø districts. Infrastructure
network provides good access to the
settlements. Streets and bike roads network
are all well laid out and connected to the rest
of the city. Shops, school, church and bus
stations are nearby.
BUILDING SITE
The plot is a shape of grain head which is a
concept for designing the site. Idea is inspired
by expected feelings and by the common
surrounding in Shorthøj which is meadow alike.
Buildings are situated around the plot to leave
open green space in the middle of the plot.
Half-circular placement of the buildings keeps
the middle area alive as nature would do.

12,5m in width and 13,5m in height. Sun path,
