Location: Sundby Harbor
Country: Denmark
Design: PLOT Architects
Total area : 1600 square meters
Completed: June 2004
The Maritime Youth House is shared
by two clients, a sail club and a youth house, who had very different programs.
The youth house needed outdoor space for the kids to play, the sail club needed
most of the site to park their boats.
The curved deck is not about introducing an advanced formal
discourse or architectural philosophy to the project. It is an example of
simple reasoning on the basis of the complexity of a programme and a limited
budget.
The building is the result of these two contradictory demands: The
deck is elevated high enough to allow for boat storage underneath while
providing an undulating landscape for the kids to run and play above.
The common room, where most of the daily activities take place, is
located in the front house, the workshop and storage is in the back corner
building.
