Data for 500,000 Danish homes, made clear and usable

Landsbyggefonden's national housing data warehouse consolidates data from across the Danish social housing sector. The platform runs on TARGIT, a BI tool with no CSS access. I led product design within those hard constraints, making dense, multi-source dashboards legible and navigable.

A national data warehouse for the Danish social housing sector

Landsbyggefonden administers support and financing for the Danish social housing sector. Det Almene Datavarehus is their central data warehouse, consolidating financial data, residential data, energy consumption, building records, rental data, and more from across their existing self-service systems.

The platform is built on TARGIT, a business intelligence tool with no CSS customisation and only the configuration options the platform itself exposes. Designing for it meant working entirely within those constraints, without the ability to override layouts, typography, or spacing through code.

Lead product designer on a constrained platform

I led product design for the platform, responsible for visual design, information architecture, dashboard layouts, and report structures.

The work required balancing several moving parts at once: a new LBF website identity that was still being defined during the project, an existing self-service product that had launched the year before but served a sufficiently different use case that I couldn't simply reuse its design system.

Rather than defaulting to either reference, I had to create a solution that felt clearly connected to LBF's visual identity, served the specific needs of data warehouse users, and was achievable within TARGIT's configuration-only constraints: no CSS, no code overrides, just platform settings.

  • Led visual design and information architecture for the full platform
  • Designed dashboard layouts and report structures within TARGIT constraints
  • Balanced a new LBF website identity still being defined, an existing self-service product with a different use case, and the specific needs of data warehouse users
  • Created a coherent visual system that connected clearly with LBF's identity from within the platform's constraints
  • No CSS access, no code overrides: design decisions made entirely through platform settings
