The village

164 pioneers live in this village where we experimented with the reuse of shipping containers as a potential building material. This means that you can live in a shipping container that has sailed the oceans. And yes, you can put up things with magnets!

Location

CPH Village Refshaleøen is located at the old shipwharft area turned into an urban oasis with lots of cafes, concerts and cultural events… also its located riiiight next to the water front, so if you like to dip your toes, then this might be just the place for you.

 

Community

CPH Village Refshaleøen has historically always had a lot of cool villagers and great community activity ranging from anything like building and operating a sauna club, hosting political debates and making cool parties. True pioneers!
