With its 9500 sqm the Botanical Roof Garden of Augustenborg is an ever-evolving testbed of urban greening.

The Botanical Roof Garden of Augustenborg first opened to the public in 2001. During the last 20 years the garden has evolved from a small showcase to a world-renowned testbed of urban green infrastructure. Several research projects are active on the roof.
Ohboy the Bicycle House in Malmö is designed, built and owned by architects Hauschild + Siegel. Owning the process from drawing board to finished product has allowed the architects control the entire concept and ensure it meets their vision of a smarter way to live. Cykelhuset Ohboy comprises both rental apartments and a long-stay hotel. All apartments are designed for a simple way of life, helping residents achieve a cost-effective lifestyle. Instead of using a large area for car parking, this housing concept wants to encourage residents to either cycle or use public transport.
