Faxe Municipality faces major works with coastal protection around Faxe Ladeplads, specifically the stretch of the road following the coast. The municipality's stated purpose of coastal defense "to protect people and property from flooding and degradation from the sea."
The project shows how at the same time protects the coast and provides a new recreation area. One way to bring the water back to the city and thus restore Faxe Ladeplads as a seaside resort, both for the local citizens and outsiders tourists.
The project seizes two strong stories of the area. The limestone underground and the rich shipbuilding history. Something the locals can recognize themselves in, but others will travel by. The system is built around the staging of the powerful force of nature on the place, so that becomes the core of the experience. It also establishes a framework for different activities on the water.
