Article source: Henning Larsen Architects The Adaptable House centres around flexibility and identifies how a flexible design of a single-family house can save time, resources and CO2 in connection with conversions and extensions. It forms part of a large development project financed by Realdania Byg.  Image Courtesy © Henning Larsen Architects

Couples get together and have children who grow up and move away from home. Some couples are divorced – and in any case, our mobility and ability to take care of ourselves in our own home are gradually weakened. The Adaptable House offers a number of specific solutions for addressing the changed needs as they arise.

In the adaptation process, the need for new materials is minimised – and in many cases, large conversions or extensions can be avoided and replaced by a changed spatial and functional layout. In the design of the house, adaptability is coupled with an overall vision to reduce CO2 emissions. Special features about The Adaptable House include:

After completion, the annual CO2 savings for heating and operation will be reduced by 33 tons compared with a standard house.
