EXTENSION — The harbor bath is extended towards southwest and is finished as a complete rectangle.

FOLD UP — The rectangle is folded up.

MOSAIC ART FLOOR — The entire floor will be covered by black and white ceramic mosaics with motifs created by HuskMitNavn.

THE ENTRANCE — The entrance is a cut into the platform in the extension of the central walkway of the harbor bath which creates a long central axis as in the traditional winter baths.

THE WINTER BATH FACILITIES — The winter bath is placed under the wooden deck surrounded by a terrace on all sides. During the dark seasons the winter bath becomes a lantern reflecting in the icy water visible from afar.

A TERRACED SURFACE — The inclined surface is terraced to allow people to sit or lie down in the sun. From the seats you can overview the different pools. The area can also be used as an amphitheater for events.

GLASS WALLS — The exterior façade as well as the walls in the sauna area are full height clear glass panels. All vertical walls are either transparent or mirror finish creating the perception of an endless space.

WOODEN ROOF & CEILING — As an extension of the harbor bath the roof as well as ceiling are covered by pine wood planks, the direction of the planks follows the steps on the roof surface.

MIRROR WALLS — The walls to the rooms requiring privacy are made of full height mirror panels. The finish of doors, built in cabins double as mirrors.

LIFE ON ISLANDS BRYGGE — The harbor bath with the new extension brings even more life and activity to Islands Brygge all year around.
