The courtyard creates a breeding ground for community and biodiversity

The heart of Bakkekæret is the green hill in the courtyard, where grass grows, trees bear fruit and herb gardens can be cultivated. Here, children can explore nature and play in the playground or you can enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee in a warm sun spot.

With three orangeries, roof terraces and a 400 m community house2, spaces are created for alone time, family time and cozy time.

New friendships forged in the community house

As an extension of your apartment's square meters, tenants in Bakkekæret can enjoy the large common house of 400 m2. It is equipped with a cozy kitchen and café area, workstations and a multi-room, and high-speed internet is provided.

Right here you can take a concentrated day of homework, organize communal dining with neighbors, or create festive memories.

Enjoy nature all year round in the Orangery

Take a break from everyday life in one of the three orangeries where nature can be enjoyed in a bright and warm climate all year round. You'll find one of the orangeries on the ground, where you can also observe the life of the courtyard. The other two are located on the rooftop terraces with a view of all the greenery.

All three orangeries are cozy enough to invite guests for dinner, but there is also room for a quiet moment with a good book.

Restored nature in the city center

The large courtyard of almost 12,000 m2 gives you the feeling of being in the meadow landscape that was once here - before the area was dominated by the asphalt factory that came later. Now nature has been allowed to flourish again on the hill with wild grass, fruit trees, berry bushes and herbs.

The courtyard is divided into different landscape zones where you can explore vegetable gardens, picnic areas and an edible landscape. A tour of the former asphalt factory chimney is given new life as an installation in the landscape and old containers are given new life as planters, thus becoming part of the future narrative.

"Haveværten" art project

Bakkekæret is part of the exciting art and urban development project Haveværten, which develops concrete proposals for how art, architecture and co-creation can shape the circular urban society.

Until March 2024, Haveværten invites children, adults, microbes, animals and plants into the teardrop-shaped greenhouse on the corner where Hørkær meets the flax path, and you can experience everything from landscape walks to sensory presentations.
