The project Vestled at Hvide Sande Village, create accessibility to the seaside for everybody in any physical condition.
The project is partly a ramp made of facing stone – which provides access from the existing parking lot, via the dunes toward the shore. The coating is encircled by an in-situ cast concrete border and kept in position by an advanced foundation system.
The second part of the work lay by the foot of the dunes. It’s a part of the horizon figuratively withdrawn – a 28 meter long and 46 cm high dark patina bronze sculpture.
This part of the project provides fully integrated and comfortable seating opportunities.
