AN URBAN DISTRICT BY THE SEA
Strandparken is located in the development area Køge Kyst just south of the industrial harbour and Medieval town centre of Køge: A unique, attractive and sustainable urban district by the sea enhancing the role of Køge as a centre in the Greater Copenhagen area and in the Øresund region as a whole.
INTERPLAY BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE
Juul | Frost Architects have been responsible for all design phases from the appraisal to the construction of the 65 rental flats and the integrated landscape design.
The buildings reflect the potentials of the site, and all dwellings are designed with optimal daylight conditions and views. The block is divided and downsized into smaller sections of varying heights from 3 to 6 floors through openings to the landscape creating a detached 6-storey building in the sites northeast corner.
CLOSER TO NATURE
The landscape brings the dwellers even closer to the local nature with the view to the flora of the salt meadow, the sound of the sea breeze in the lyme grass, the touch of sand beneath their feet and the hues of the coast line in their courtyard – Here, the residents can literally step from their terraces into the sandbars.
SOMETHING SPECIAL ON A RAINY DAY
In the landscape design of Køge Kyst, the rainwater management takes place at the surface. The drainage of rainwater happens through rain beds and water channels in Corten highlighting the water as an experimental dimension instead of hiding it. The intention behind, is to make something special out of even the rainy days by making the rain and water a poetic feature in the landscape through visible water mirrors, the movement of the water in channels and surfaces in sand where the raindrops leave their marks.
