Description

     Restructuring: 

     

  • Based on a master plan to transform 'Havneholmen' from a commercial harbor to an integrated housing and industrial area. 
  • Two U-shaped blocks with inner courts, totaling 236 residences, are strategically positioned for optimal daylight, views, and outdoor access. 
  •  

    Architectural Harmony: 

     

  • Varying building heights (5 to 8 stories) diminish the large-scale appearance. 
  • Bright facades with glass sections and white thermal plaster create a light, slender, and maritime aesthetic. 
  • Monolithic unity is achieved with bay windows and balconies, emphasizing a harmonious visual appeal. 
  •  

    Historical Roots and Revitalization: 

     

  • 'Havneholmen' translates to 'harbor + islet,' formerly an industrial landfill and coal landing site. 
  • Evolution from a fish market to the present 'Fisketorvet' shopping mall. 
  • Canal development symbolizes a shift from theoretical urban planning to pragmatic and profitable approaches. 
  •  

    Waterfront Transformation: 

     

  • Recognition of water's attractiveness and value in urban development. 
  • Masterplan proposes narrow canals, promising a charming atmosphere and returns on investments. 
  • Rapid transformation from a polluted workspace to an appealing and profitable waterfront. 
  •  

    Cultural Sensitivity: 

     

  • Acknowledges cultural nuances in sharing spaces and respecting privacy. 
  • Invites visitors to explore inner courtyards while emphasizing the importance of discretion. 
  • Balances the charm of shared spaces with the need for privacy in a diverse cultural context.
