Solrødgård Water Treatment Henning Larsen 2017
PlantSite/ HILLERØD, DENMARK.
AREA : 12800 m².
The Solrødgård Climate and Environment Park, serving the city of Hillerød in northern Zealand, seeks to shine a brighter spotlight on the global challenge of sustainable resource use. Developed from a 50-hectare, 1 billion-DKK master plan, the park aims to open community dialogue on resource use and climate awareness by creating public appeal within a municipal infrastructure.
Site Plane
The Solrødgård Water Treatment Plant is fully immersed in its surrounding landscape. It defies the aesthetic and olfactory presence commonly associated with such a facility – Instead of industrial form, the plant is literally embedded in the countryside, its inner workings hidden under a grassy roof. Created from a landscape concept, the plant's green roof integrates seamlessly into the park and nearby lake with meadow and wetland varieties of plants. A landscaped pedestrian channel runs through the center of the plant, drawing visitors with floor-to-ceiling glass facades that put the water reclamation process on public display. Various stories about the water cycle can be seen here, from the cleansing process taking place inside to the journey of the rainwater outside.

Henning Larsen has lined this corridor with weathering steel and floor-to-ceiling glass to invite visitors to look inside the building.
