GUIDELINES - ART

Design guidelines for the embellishment of roundabouts and intersections along Kystvejen in the Thy area.  

The proposals for the embellishments will be able to highlight the qualities and possible experiences of the area, through a deliberate aesthetical choice of artistic expression. These recommendations will aid to the creation of a connected narrative and information about the region, for locals as well as visitors. 

The proposals do not determine what is deemed as 'good' or 'beautiful' art, however, only providing guidelines for placement, size, materials, and colors. 

The proposals for the embellishment of the five roundabouts and intersections was realized in co-operation with representatives from five cities in the fall of 2021.

Client: Thisted Municipality

THY SEASIDE RESORT

Application from after pilot scheme for coast and nature tourism. 

The project for Thy Seaside Resort is a transformation of an already existing campingspot - Hanstholm camping, where future use will focus less on camping. The project will transform into an exclusive all-year nature resort, with lodging capacity in a hotel and housing units placed within nature. Other than lodging, the project will aid to the region image as a tourist destination, shaped through the qualities of the surrounding nature and landscape. This destination will therefore create a larger number of possibilities experiences and activities for the coast and nature tourism. The unique placement on the coast ensures an authentic atmosphere, which is hard to recreate in other areas, thereby strengthening the coast and nature tourism on a local and international level.
