Urban harbor area in Aarhus, where people are walking their dogs and sitting on an urban staircase.

Isbjerget Aarhus

SeARCH architecture and urbanism

Isbjerget is part of the redevelopment of Aarhus harbor, where a former container terminal has been transformed into an urban and lively waterfront district.

The high density and strict height limitations called for a smart volumetric strategy. By breaking the mass into peaks and valleys, a strong silhouette emerges that references an iceberg, while daylight and views of the water are preserved for all dwellings.

This architectural film places the building within its context, but above all captures the energy of the place. The apartments are compact, yet life unfolds largely outdoors — on balconies, along the waterfront and in close connection with nature.
