We establish the phase diagram of the five-dimensional anisotropic AbelianHiggs model by mean field techniques and Monte Carlo simulations. Theanisotropy is encoded in the gauge couplings as well as in the Higgs couplings.In addition to the usual bulk phases (confining, Coulomb and Higgs) we findfour-dimensional ``layered'' phases (3-branes) at weak gauge coupling, wherethe layers ma
