Safe Haven  is located in Engrave Brygge where The city has very limited land dedicated to residential development and plans have been made to convert old industrial locations into a new residential areas One of the main elements in the plan is the design of a block of islands surrounded by canals with facilities to dock kayaks, canoes, and smaller motor and sailboats. There is a strong focus on creating environmental sustainability, integrating “living at the water” and the creation of attractive urban spaces along the harbor. Environmental sustainability means, amongst others, green roofs, integration of solar panels in the architectural frame and the use of rainwater to flush toilets. The master plan for Enghave Brygge has been developed in close cooperation between the City of Copenhagen, Gröning Arkitekter, Juul of Frost Arkitekter and Danielsen Arkitekter.
