Roskilde Watersports Center

Culture and recreation above the city.

A vibrant monument of the city’s more recent history that combines tower and ground floor and becomes a unique center for culture, re-creation and activities.

The old water reservoir from 1960 hovers over the city as a cultural heritage with a panoramic view and innumerable possibilities. Based on a study of the potentials of the water tower the concrete construction was rethought as a unique cultural and recreational center with wellness, fitness, climbing, restaurant and conference facilities. The project proposal offers a new connection between the top and the bottom of the building in which the existing qualities are brought to their full potential, bringing Roskilde’s culture and recreation to a higher level.
