Maple House opens in Toronto

We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of Maple House, our first completed building in Canada, situated right in the vibrant heart of Toronto. The project brings affordable rental apartments to the city, while providing residents with generous apartments, flooded with light through floor-to-ceiling windows and access to attractive amenity spaces. The project stacks architectural components from the three surrounding neighbourhoods: Townhouses, warehouses and silos, creating a building complex that both responds to its surroundings and contributes by adding new distinctive, robust and diverse architecture.

Cobe to transform Risskov School

Cobe has won the transformation and extension project for Risskov School, creating an extraordinary everyday environment for children and young people in the Danish city of Aarhus.

The upcoming transformation and expansion of this historic public school, originally built in the 1920s with several extensions added later, will adhere to a maximum limit value of 8 kg CO₂/m²/year, in accordance with Danish low-emission building regulations. This entails, among other things, conducting screenings, variant analyses, and a number of overall LCA analyses already during the initial stages to ensure optimal conditions for the future school.

We look forward to collaborating with ABC, NERD Architects, Johansen&Rasmussen, Celis Consult and the City of Aarhus to create an adaptable, robust, and flexible school, focusing on enhancing well-being for all, minimizing climate impact, and honoring the rich cultural heritage of the area.

Cobe Founder Dan Stubbergaard kicks off Spring 2024 studio at Harvard GSD

Cobe Founder and Professor in Practice of Urban Design, Dan Stubbergaard, has kicked off his Spring 2024 studio, 'City as Resource', at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. The studio will focus on urban adaptive reuse in the ‘already built-up city’ in the context of climate change and resource scarcity, with Berlin serving as a test site.

The studio seeks to explore new paths for urban development within the boundaries of our planet and the boundaries of the already built environment. This involves investigations on how urban development needs can be accommodated through cultures of reuse, reparation, retrofit, and sensible densification of the existing rather than prevailing practices of obsoletion, replacement, extraction, and expansion.
