General description
This project divides up the large area on the north harbour next to the silo, and allows for many more usable spaces. It is not clear exactly what the clusters of buildings will be used for, but the site could easily accommodate the yacht club facilities that already exist there. Without reaching out too far from the established nature of Augustenborg, the winner found a way to continue developing the town with an updated, yet recognizably local typology. We were particularly happy with the way the waterfront was divided up.

The project clearly states the proposed developments relationship with the general context. Footpaths and site lines were highlighted and helped convince us of the embeddedness of the design and its sensitivity to the existing fabric of the town.
Like many projects, this one proposed an intensive repurposing of the silo for cultural use. Since it was not known until quite late that the silo could not be renovated in any way, the jury, in most cases, decided to withhold judgment concerning the silo.
