Existing harbour areaA major part of the southern harbour is today covered by a large parking lot. Just above it there´s a green area that follows the hjo river to its outlet.

SquareBy turning the parking lot into a square it attracts people and eventually it also becomes a new meeting point. A path is drawn to highlight possible connec-tions.

InspirationExisting traditional boathouses was the the first source of inspiration.

LocationWithout interfering with the built surround-ing the inspirational boathouse gets a new location. The new setting gives new relation conditions.
Increased volumeBy adding the programme to the building it´s necessary for an expansion of the extents.

Additional piersThe building is already docked to the south-ern pier. To extend the existing pier and to create an interesting approach to the building two additional piers are connected.

Changing geometryBy transforming the volume the roof gets available from two points along one of the diagonals.

Extension of the public livingroomConnecting the building to the new square it becomes part of the new.
Site + building
The building will be part in a bigger restoration over the southern harbour area. The square will still be able to ac-commodate with a great number of cars and buses, yet now it´s on the pedestrians conditions. The square should be seen as a new public livingroom, an inviting open atmosphere where people in all ages could dwell. It´s able to populate during events and it´s possible to extend the market hall onto the square creating an urban bazaar. The delicate position of the building may interfere with the view from some angles but it´s compromised by having the building itself accessable and the area around it increased.

Public area Private area Public area
The building is strictly divided into a private and a public section. The inner core is occupied by the private section including the market booths. The public space is divided into a larger changeable space and an area dedicated for café and restaurant. The café area extends and creates an outdoor space, erasing the borders between in- and outside.
