Designed to bring people together
Urban Rigger is centered around community – a community that enjoys a strong sense of connection, where the residents work together towards a more sustainable and prosperous future.
There are currently around 100 people (mainly students) living onboard, and around 20 different nationalities.
On Urban Rigger, you have the opportunity to tap into a social bubble, meet new friends and be connected to both the city and the water. Most recently the corona quarantine has clearly demonstrated the importance of access to outdoor areas and small local communities.
While enjoying the many benefits of communal living, you also have your own private space where you can concentrate on studies or work, cook your own food, and relax.
"Essential basic drivers of the student migration, such as the availability of centralized, sustainable and affordable student housing, is not only elemental, but cardinal in the quest to inspire and attract the best and the brightest to conquer the challenges of our exciting but fragile future."
– Bjarke Ingels, BIG
Conscious Living
By living smaller we consume less and reduce our environmental footprint. We, at Urban Rigger, encourage conscious living by cultivating good use of common resources.
“I wake up, I turn my coffee machine on, and I go swimming. By the time I’m done, the coffee is ready.”
– Mads
EXTRA MONEY FOR BEERPONG!
“The biggest benefit from living in the rigger is that they use the latest technology for electricity and heating. It’s col that we reduce the impact of the environment, but also save money on the heating expenses.”
– Adam, Engineer Student at DTU
“I don’t even know how many nationalities we are living here on Urban Rigger, but even though we come from all over the world, we are all in the same boat… We are more than just neighbors”
– Mads & SIlke
MORNING COFFEE BY THE WATER
“I just love the lifestyle that you get living close to the water. I can drink my morning coffee while looking out on the water, which I can jump directly into from my window or my terrace.”
– Matilde, Communication student at ITU
”You do somehow feel more connected to nature when you live here on the Urban Riggers. When you literally live on the water and use it daily for swimming, kayaking or catching fish from your balcony, you automatically care for it and want to keep it clean”
– SIlke
URBAN COMMUNITY
“It’s so awesome to be a part of an innovative project for students. We have the best communion on the rigger, and I can only imagine that this lifestyle will become very popular in the future.”
– Anna, Finance student at CBA
