Seven Homes with a Purpose: From VenligBolig to new community-based housing
Exhibition
Jun 8 - Nov 29, 2020
Seven Homes with a Purpose in 2020 was shown in DAC Passage, presenting seven ONV Arkitekter proposals for living more affordably and meaningfully through smaller homes and stronger communities.
Do you remember VenligBolig (FriendlyHousing)? The refugee homes that made headlines in Denmark amid the refugee crisis in 2015? ONV Architects is the studio behind the much-debated housing.
In this exhibition you could experience seven very different examples on how we can live with lower costs, cheaper, happier and more meaningful.
Maybe we will live better when we live more simple, smart and beautiful in smaller spaces but as part of strong communities.
Unity and innovation are always at the focal point when ONV architects create new architectural solutions from shared summer houses and temporary study residences to generation houses and refugee homes.
In the exhibition you could be inspired and get new perspectives on alternative ways of living.
You found the exhibition at the DAC Passage.
