The project is based on the idea of interpreting the industrial nature of the North Harbour district, transforming the linear space into a central urban space for the new neighborhood.

The wooden boardwalk runs along the entire southern quay of Aarhusgadekvarteret in Nordhavn, app. 425m. Public spaces are concentrated along the boardwalk, creating a number of urban spaces with a direct relationship and close contact to the water.

The boardwalk is designed as a continuous oak deck, prioritizing pedestrians and bikes, at the same time creating public flow and accessibility. Integrated in the boardwalk, a variety of rough materials and native Danish landscapes create a new public realm based on the Northharbour ID.
