8 HOUSE is located in Southern Orestd on the edge of the Copenhagen Canal and with a view of the open spaces of Kalvebod Faelled. It is a big house in the literal sense of the word. A house offering homes in all its bearings for people in all of life’s stages: young an old, nuclear families and singles, families that grow and families that become smaller. The bow-shaped building creates two distinct spaces, separated by the counter of the bow which hosts the communal facilities of 500m^2. At the very same spot the building is penetrated by a 9 meter wide passage that connects the two surrounding city spaces: The park area to the west and the channel area to the east.
