Fjordbo

New special needs housing is being constructed in the Danish town of Thisted. Great emphasis has been placed on creating sustainable housing with integrated opportunities for a homely atmosphere. Green Box supplies prefabricated bathrooms that support both of these requirements for the new housing project.

Inspired by the Bronze Age

The project is inspired by Bronze Age settlements and is designed as a longhouse connected to six small housing clusters. 

Emphasis has been placed on creating a residential facility with integrated opportunities for a homely atmosphere, high professional quality, visible staff and a good working environment. And then there are very clear sustainability requirements for the construction, which aims to be certified as DGNB Gold and Heart.

The sustainability requirements have been met partly by combining a low carbon footprint with a focus on using sustainable materials. Both are helped along by the prefabricated bathrooms from Green Box.

The lightweight bathrooms have walls and ceilings made from a combination of galvanised steel and Fermacell. Only the floor is made of concrete. The lightweight construction results in a low carbon footprint, which in turn helps reduce the project’s overall carbon footprint. In producing the bathrooms, only materials approved for Nordic Swan Ecolabelled construction have been used.

User-friendly design

The bathrooms at Fjordbo are spacious, inviting and functionally furnished. Here, future residents will have plenty of space to move around with or without a wheelchair. The colour scheme is timeless and modern, and the fittings allow easy maintenance and cleaning, are user-friendly and have a functional design.

This is reflected in the large tiles with a limited number of joints and quality disability solutions from Pressalit.

Thisted Municipality is the developer of the project, and construction company Knudsgaard A/S, together with ERIK Arkitekter A/S and EKJ Consulting Engineers, is behind the design and construction of the new housing, which is expected to be ready for occupancy in early 2026.
