Danish housing complex reimagined with striking geometry and CUPA 12 slate roofs
This new housing project is situated between the station and the local church in Malling, Denmark, offering a fresh take on modern living. The development is cleverly arranged to form three distinct courtyards, where the geometry not only defines intimate spaces but also fosters a pedestrian- and family-friendly environment.
According to CEBRA Architects, the firm in charge of the project, the building was designed using traditional, robust materials with a long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements.
In line with this approach, the choice of our CUPA 12 natural slate was a conscious decision for a simple and stylish architectural expression, where the facades and roof seamlessly merge into one.
Peter Flindt Boldreel, Project Manager and Partner in CJ Group, the turn key contractor, explains this choice:
The fact that slate is a natural mineral product with a low environmental impact combined with the exclusive look makes it very attractive in a time where sustainability is a key word.
The Malling Dampmølle Housing Complex is a remarkable example of modern residential architecture. It has earned widespread recognition, winning the 2024 Popular Choice Award in the Residential category at the prestigious Architizer A+ Awards.
Our CUPA 12 slate is distinguished by its ease of installation, exceptional durability, and striking aesthetics. On the roof of this housing complex, it truly stands out, with its appearance changing subtly depending on the roof’s slope, creating a captivating visual effect.
Peter Flindt Boldreel says:
We are very excited about the appearance of the slate, which with its clean expression completes an extraordinary and challenging roof construction.
The distinctive roof shape enabled the design of diverse housing units with various layouts and geometries, accommodating to families, couples, and singles. Each unit opens up to interior pedestrian areas filled with greenery, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere for all residents to enjoy.
