A vertical journey through granite



A new stair is proposed to link the waterfront to the mountain of Kvarnberget. This granite stair, enclosed by an existing drystone wall, has a narrow, vertical quality reminiscent of the 'King's Cleft', Kungsklyftan, directly in line with the stair.

In the summer, this stair would provide a cool, shady transition between the sunny, bustling waterfront and the granite mountain; in the winter, a shelter from the cold, bitter wind.





Further steps carved into the mountain take the visitor through the mountain and up to the lookout on the highest point.
