The new Faaborg Harbour Bath and Blue Base at the southern end of Fyn, is based on the idea of bathing inthe sea and close to the elements. The concept of the bath is based on the idea of creating an open seabathing area with piers branching out seawards creating swimming areas between them.The various functions define every pier in the bath. This creates a "finger plan" with open basins betweenfour baths bridges of different width and length, where each bridge offers a new way to get in the water onand in which each pool has a specific use. The wooden piers form ramps, stairs, sitting opportunities andsmall pools for children. The Harbour Bath has changing rooms, a sauna and a 300 m² meeting point forboat tourism on land.The Faaborg Harbour Bath will give the town of Faaborg a new public water space which will attract visitorsand invite the locals to swim and enjoy water sports.
