Blending tradition with climate-driven design and minimal impact for the Ningitsivik development in Nuuk
The housing proposal for the Ningitsivik development in Nuuk has been developed in close collaboration with local partner Titarneq. The proposal blends innovation with Greenlandic traditions and includes a range of custom single-family homes and multiplexes designed to prioritize comfort, durability, and low maintenance.
Constructed primarily from wood and elevated on pillars, the design respects traditional Greenlandic building methods while following the natural contours of the terrain. This approach ensures minimal environmental impact and emphasizes the principles of resilient, climate-conscious design.
