Existing plan of the area (above) and a draft proposal for a new public landscape (below). Click to enlarge!
The proposal includes five new public boathouses that can be rented out or used for events, as part of the Folkets Hus.A new route leads the ambler from the church, through the cemetery, over the granite rock (stopping briefly at two benches to take in the framed views, or at the lookout on the top), through the walled garden of the Folkets Hus, down a granite staircase and out to a floating platform, to be used as a stage, sunbathing platform, seating area or dock for larger boats. During cold winters, this route can continue over the ice to the island of Kråkholmen, where a lookout marks the highest point.
New workshops replace the old herring factory and keep with the industrial character of the dock, potentially being used by the coastguard, fishermen, postal service and other marine industries. A mediating open space can be shared by tourists and locals, workers and visitors - the presence of the marine industries guarantees life and movement year-round.
The old sewage treatment plant can become inhabited by the local fishermen and house showers and a sauna, to be shared with sailing tourists in the summer.
