INNOVATIVE SYSTEM

Urban Rigger is a Danish company that was established in 2013 to develop a revolutionary and innovative floating dwelling system to provide a solution to the housing problem facing students in Europe.

The company joined forces with award-winning architect Bjarke Ingels to upcycle shipping containers and deliver its first floating student residence in Copenhagen.

The Urban Rigger utilises hydro-source heating and boasts photovoltaic panels plus low-energy pumps.

The project has been such a success that it has tremendous potential to meet the housing needs of students, refugees and others around the world.
