In 2016, Danish property developer FB Gruppen decided to transform a former wholesale marketplace for flowers, fruit and vegetables in Copenhagen into a new residential area for 4,500 people. Ensuring it was a modern and attractive new neighbourhood, while still retaining a link with its trading past, was important to the developer. To help create such an environment, growth houses on top of all properties were included in the design, as was a big park in the middle of the development, green roofs, and a feature fruit garden with apple trees.
