17 FLOORS WITH A VIEW TO THE FJORD
Just by the waterfront in the heart of Holbæk, Holbæk Fjord Tower brightens up as the town’s new landmark. The 57-meter-tall tower with 17 floors overlooking the fjord and town comprises 60 modern rental apartments and condominiums. The project was initiated in 2007, but put on hold by the financial crisis. 10 years later Juul | Frost Architects revived it, and now the residents can enjoy a swim in the harbour and probably the town’s finest view.
MIXED OWNERSHIP AND OPTIMIZED LIGHT CONDITIONS
The fjord tower has a spacious foyer as well as stairs and lifts up to the 16 floors. Except for the two top floors, each floor comprises four apartments with between two and four rooms. The 15th floor offers three apartments, while the top floor consists of one large penthouse apartment with a roof top terrace.
Natural day light is ensured by large window panels and access to terraces or balconies positioned so that each apartment has the best possible view. On 14 of the floors, three of the apartments are oriented with views to the fjord, while the fourth, southwest facing, offers a look to Holbæk and not least sun from morning to evening.
GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND ADD VALUE TO THE TOWN
Juul | Frost Architects’ landscape architects have been part of the process from the beginning, and designed a public plinth at the foot of the tower, located on top of the building’s parking area. The integrated urban space allows passage through and stay on the plinth, which is designed as a common and recreational area with planting and sun loungers. The ambition to give back to the community and add value to the town have been realized in this sunbathing public terrace, where residents, neighbours and tourists are welcome to settle down and relax.
