Conversion of three pumpstations along The Skjern river in Denmark by Johansen Skovsted ArkitekterJanuary 5th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter As a result of the restoration of the Skjern River basin in 2002, a vast and rich natural area has arisen, becoming an attractive visitor destination. A framework for the new life of the area has been provided with the rebuilding and extension of three pump stations, in the form of exhibition spaces, indoor and outdoor viewpoints to look out over the landscape, rooms for the organisation of events, and better accessibility.

This creates a direct link between the old structure and the new, while adding a new material and another texture that is pleasing to the touch. With this detail, the cladding and the main structure become one, reducing the complexity of the building, which is reflected in the budget as well as the final expression.

By building on this motif the anchoring of the buildings into the surroundings and the history of the site is strengthened.
