"Our approach comprises three main components. First, we emphasize the storytelling aspect by highlighting the Pavillon's rich history, including the oldest and most valuable buildings, which are transformed into wayfinding points both in the new complex and throughout the site. Second, we aim to create architectural unity by incorporating a large unifying roof that promotes a sense of calm and coherence across all functions. This roof also allows public access to an exciting roofscape, offering unique views and space for events. Finally, we seek to establish a strong connection between the building and the surrounding landscape. This involves reorienting what is currently considered the back of the cultural center to become the new front, thereby activating the beautiful surroundings and providing immediate access to both the park and the Grenaa River that runs alongside the building," says Søren Tortzen, the head of C.F. Møller Architects' office in Aalborg, which is leading the project.
