The task is to design a harbor bath at Nyhavn, Copenhagen. The project is conceived as a natural extension of the existing cityscape. The deck is stretched into a large triangle that spans over the harbor to allow bath goers as well as pedestrians to gain access to rare views of the harbor area. In terms of function, the bath utilizes the two far cor ners of the tr iangle to create an enclosed sauna on the western end and an open-air swimming pool on the eastern end.
