Salling Rooftop and Roofgarden

Project Description

Salling Rooftop and Roofgarden

Utilizing the existing roof space of the Salling department store in Aarhus, the rooftop garden is a public area for relaxation, togetherness and increasing biodiversity in the city. This urban oasis also provides visitors with a new lookout point on the historic streets and buildings surrounding it, including the City Hall, cathedral, and Aarhus Bay.

Inspired by Salling Rooftop in Aarhus, a similar space on the rooftop of the Salling Department Store in Aalborg, one year later. Encompassing 1,400 m² across three levels, the Aalborg rooftop includes numerous seating areas, an amphitheater, a café, and a panoramic view of Aalborg – city and fjord.
