Entering from Skagen The main lobby is placed from city side of the building. It is a place where most of the tourists begin their journey both through the building and through the land. It serves for organizing and getting basic, practical information. The space is equipped with information spot, cloak room, big map of the whole Skagen Odde and toilets. The split into two paths starts there.

Central Space Central point of the builing is a space where two tracks meet together. It serves as an event space with big open stairs suited to be a comfortable and informal sitting. It can be a place for lectures or exhibition’s openings. We decided to keep the auditorium open to the main exhibition tracks as we wanted it to be an inviting and lively space that is not a separated room but a part of the whole building. The important issue was then to control the acoustics what was solved by using special wooden panels both on the walls and ceiling

Entering from Grenen Visitors entering from the other side have the opportunity to see the cultural exhibition. Typically, they have already visited the Grenen area and have spent a lot of time in the landscape. They can sit in the cafe & restaurant area to have a rest. They can also visit the shop where it is possible to buy gifts, guides and books about Skagen.
