Det Grønne Plus, Brande
Community building and 137 homes.
The Green Plus is the title of the project created by Mads Ruglykke, Henrik Warrer, and Anders Holch Povlsen. The project has been developed on the site of the former public school, Præstelundskolen — the very same school that both Mads and Henrik once attended, and where the children of JCN Bolig’s CEO, Flemming Rasmussen, also went to school.
In 2021, Ikast-Brande Municipality put the former school grounds up for sale through a project competition. Based on their joint development company, PLS A/S, and with support from AAA United, Mads, Henrik, and Anders won the opportunity to develop this centrally located site. JCN Bolig has been involved in the development process from the time the architects’ ideas were first presented, providing feedback and optimization input for the entire project. Every detail has been thoroughly reviewed, which even resulted in one of the three building sections being completely redefined to create the perfect match between price and target group.
The Green Plus consists of three distinct residential areas catering to a broad demographic. The project stands out for its substantial effort in reusing materials from the former school. This is visible both in the preserved gymnasium and in the reused materials such as the 120,000 yellow bricks, which have been integrated throughout the entire new development. The 137 homes are divided into 15 terraced houses, 28 senior homes in the Atrium Courtyard, and 94 apartments in the Terrace Buildings.
The Green Plus is a project with housing types for everyone — terraced houses, senior residences, and multi-story apartments — all connected by green spaces and a path system shaped like a green plus sign across the area. It is a project rooted in quality — especially quality of life — all tied together by the community house at its heart.
