Cpnhgn Harbour Bath

Last year I posted pictures of Harbour bath in Copenhagen, last month I visited the site and made a few more photos. You can see how the wood is aging and some green carpets emerged I suppose due to safety precautions.

Architects: PLOT = BIG + JDS
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Area: 2,500 m²
Project year: 2003
Budget: US $787,000

JDS: If you walk across Langebro on a sunny Saturday afternoon in summer, you’ll see a very peculiar sight when looking down at the old industrial area on Islands Brygge. Hundreds of people dressed in swimwear are walking, standing, sunbathing and smiling about as if they were on a sandy beach far from the metropolis. In 2002 the Harbour Bath was opened as part of the Havneparken. In no time it developed into a unique oasis right in the middle of Copenhagen. People instantly loved it. City harbours are usually not associated with fresh swimming water. Old swimming baths at Langebro closed down in 1953 because of poor water quality. Bathing is now without health risks thanks to the improved water quality. With 42 km of wharf in the harbour the city’s revitalization “Blue Plan” is working on making room for houseboats, promenades, water sports, recreation areas and playgrounds in the entire harbour space. Copenhageners now pack towels and swimwear in their briefcases. They might fancy a swim.

Lagkagehuset / Denmark

Location: Christianshavn, Copenhagen, Denmark

Team: Stig L. Andersson, Ulla Hornsyld, Rikke Geertsen, Hanne Bruun Møller
Design phase: 2007

SLA has designed a courtyard with curvy, bodily shapes which contrasts the edgy appearance of the building. It has the rounded shapes of a painter’s palette. But instead of paint, the substance of the colours consists of different kinds of vegetation in altering heights. As a cornucopia of colours and changing foliage the courtyard garden becomes a big splash of Nature in the middle of the building, creating a completely new sense of place. The framing of the different floral fragments generates with the shifting heights a dynamic and unified whole. And the multiple organic typologies conceive various spaces and modes of use while the courtyard with its changing texture becomes a changeable sensory experience.
