Norwegian architecture firm Reiulf Ramstad Architects has revealed design for a new brick housing complex at the corner of Nørregade and Nørreport in Aarhus, Denmark. 

Called Nørregade 6, the 2,000-square-metre project will consist of residential and commercial units. Reiulf Ramstad Architects has won an invited competition to design the project in Aarhus

Currently in the design stage, Nørregade 6 will be built in an unforeseen and overlooked part in the city of Aarhus. 

Consisting of three clearly defined volumes that are entirely made of brick, they are cohesive houses situated at the corner of the highly trafficated intersection between Nørregade and Nørrebrogade

The project will offer 29 apartments and a public programming on the lower level in relation to the square and the pedestrian street enclosed by a brick arcade. 

The RRA team integrated a site-specific approach referring to the materiality of the neighbourhood of ‘Mengel tower’ and proximity to Aarhus University.
