For us, the new generation harbour gives urban qualities to the city

Västhamnen represents a new development in Helsingborg. The new generation of harbor should both be super effective in its logistics and economy, and bring new urban qualities to the city.

First, we want to establish a recreational urban element to the city as a “High Line”, a pedestrian walkway overlooking Øresund. Consisting various buildings bringing commerce, culture and living qualities along the city’s new boulevard.

Next, we want to allow the city to find its way to the waterfront by a “Low line”. A huge wooden deck for fishing, fitness and resting – or just to enjoy the sunset.

We just want to add new social, environmental and recreational values to the city by the sea.
