The Stevns Klint Vistor Center, located on a UNESCO heritage site in Denmark’s Zealand region, is both a tribute to the land’s history and a site for everyday recreation. The visitor center’s slopping walls frame the expansive ocean views while pedestrian and cyclist paths bring visitors into the landscape.
The design, which includes an expansion of an existing chalk barn and a new exhibition building, is set into the cliff’s topography and continues the material language of the area, creating a discrete addition to the landscape. These two buildings and programmatic functions allow for appreciation of the cliff’s grandeur while recreational paths and informational exhibitions offer visitors a more intimate experience.
