Sjöbodar - boathouses - form a great part of Fjällbacka's character and architectural legacy. However, despite being inherent to Fjällbacka's identity, they are all private and inaccessible to most.
The rhythm of these boathouses, usually with space in between them, frames beautiful views of the sea and archipelago. This pattern, however, is broken at the huge, open 'Kajen', and many residents feel that this space is too large to be practical.
Perhaps a transition can be defined between the existing boathouses and a new public space proposed at 'Kajen' by continuing this pulse with new boathouses - for the public.
The notion of a public boathouse as part of a network of social spaces is being explored.
