Sea towards the city – the city closer to the sea
In cooperation with OMJ Ejendomme, RUM did win the tender process for a new development and construction of 70,000 m2 meant for residentials, offices and commercials placed on the edge between Horsens Harbor and Horsens City. The aim is to create a new, attractive neighborhood with different options calling for a diverse range of citizens. The most important quality to emphasize in the planning is the placement next to the sea. Therefore, the water is a continuous design element in many aspects of the design, which also counts strategies for sustainable handling of the climate changes.
The vision for the overall design of the new neighborhood ‘Jernlageret’ is all about ‘bringing the sea towards the city, and the city closer to sea’
A resilient and flexible masterplan
The urban planning is based on a clear sustainable strategy which is resilient and flexible. The 1st prize project is the first step of a long-term strategy of re-connecting the city and the sea.
From January 2018 the first constructions has started.
The aim is to create a new, attractive neighborhood with different options calling for a diverse range of citizens.
