Ø4 Beach Huts

Building Plot — The Beach Huts are located in front of the residential project AARhus at the tip of the redeveloped pier Bassin 7.

Building Envelope — As a small scale typological addition to the existing building mass on the harbor the houses are extruded 4.2 m above ground.

Beach Huts — As an addition to the existing promenade programs and activities, each owner has committed to hosting at least 10 public events every year bringing more than 200 unique attractions annually.

Façade — Towards the water all units are designed with large folding doors maximizing the views of the harbor front and creating a minimal physical barrier between the interior of each unit and the promenade life.

Shortcuts — As a gesture between the streetscape towards AARhus and the promenade facing the water, new connections cut through the envelope.

Units — The overall envelope is subdivided into 21 units of 20 m2.

Pitched Roofs — As a reference to an old fisherman's hut all the units are designed with pitched roofs swaying in three different angles.

Church — Two units are given to the local church who has installed a small space hosting lectures, gatherings and services for everyone. The pitched roof of the church is extended to max height mimicking a church spire.
