Copenhagen Harbor Bath - Pool/Walkway

Year of Construction: 2003

The Harbor Bath has been an instrumental part of the transformation of Copenhagen's harbor from an industrial port to a cultural and social center of the city. It is an extension of the park over to the water with an extensive landscaping design that incorporates dry-rocks, piers, boat ramps, cliffs, playgrounds and pontoons, all the while responding to the practical needs of accessibility, safety, and programmatic flexibility. As a terraced landscape, the Harbor Bath completes the transition from land to water, making it possible for the citizens of Copenhagen to go for a swim in the middle of the city.
