Urban Rigger
Stacked shipping containers, repurposed into sleek student housing, float on Copenhagen's harbor beneath a moody, storm-streaked sky. Urban Rigger launched in 2016 on Refshaleøen, a former shipyard island that sat deserted for over 30 years before becoming a hub for creativity and alternative urban development. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, the project repurposes decommissioned shipping containers into affordable, sustainable floating homes, and has since expanded to other harbor cities as a model for low-cost, low-impact housing built on water rather than scarce land.
