Description:
The Holbæk Harbour masterplan is part of the transformation of the town’s historic and industrial harbour area into an attractive urban area close to the inlet, ensuring better integration with the water and making the harbour accessible to all.
The masterplan consists of housing, retail, small scale office schemes and the regeneration of a former shipyard to provide a new cultural plaza. The proposal aims to reinterpret the traditional urban grain of a historic harbour, creating pedestrian routes that culminate in a new public space. The sports & leisure complex is designed to complement the wider aspirations of the masterplan, with an inner quadrangle intended to act as a new town square with the building’s disparate functions arranged around it.
The scheme is in effect a contemporary interpretation of a more historically anchored, traditional architecture. It is inspired by the vision of an area where new and old merge to create a spatial interplay between the new townscape and the DGI city. The DGI city will be open and accessible to all, offering a flexible, multi-functional context that will reflect the multi-faceted spectrum of activities that it serves.
