THE BORDER THE LIMFJORD
The breakwater marks the border between the calm waters of the marina and the Limfjord’s (at times) wild nature. The shifting tides, wind direction and water depth, transform the fjord with a rhythm that follows the seasons.

THE WILD AND CALM
As it rises from the breakwater, The Fjord House becomes an integral part of the harbor landscape. On the edge between the wild and calm side, it protects the marina while offering a wide palette of recreational possibilities. Architecturally, this wild and calm dichotomy is expressed with a robust concrete façade facing the fjord and a warm wooden structure facing the marina.

THE LIFE BY THE WATER
Designed as a cluster of volumes that rise between the breakwater rocks, the Fjord House extends out into the surroundings to create varied spatial experiences and niches around the building. Rather than creating a single, monolithic space, the mosaic of different spaces creates a diversity of possible experiences. Some spaces protect from the elements, while others encourage play in the water. There are large gathering spaces that encourage community activity, and smaller, more solitary spaces for the individual.
