, Urban Rigger, provides stylish and functional waterfront accommodation, which has a high potential to meet the demand for affordable housing in overcrowded urban areas such as Copenhagen.The first Urban Rigger appeared in the hip industrial island Refshaleøen in 2017, and it certainly attracts attention. A teal blue apartment block made out of shipping containers stacked like LEGO, Urban Rigger has everything young residents of the city could wish for to live comfortably.
What about sustainability? It’s safe to say Urban Rigger has got it covered. Electrical power is sourced from solar panels, while the hydro-sourced heating technology allows the use of sea, river or lake water for heating purposes. Combined with the small amount of energy used for heating and cooling, this floating dwelling is able to reduce emissions by 81% in comparison to conventional housing.
