VISION Korevlerne Geocommunity proposes to reignite the community within Denmark’s highest concentration of summer cottages. The community will be developed as an exemplary development where conservation of the land, environmentally friendly living and participatory resident engagement will play a key role.

GEOPARK BORDER
CONTINUOUSLY FORMING LANDSCAPE The Korevlerne Geocommunity is situated on the western coastline of Odsherred Municipality in Sjaelland and consists of 15.000 summer cottages. This is a unique area where many landscape types can be experienced.
Sidinge Fjord
G
The area is continuously being formed by westerly winds and currents that erode the coast, transporting and depositing sand and creating prominent beach ridges, what today is called Korevlerne or “Cow Reef”. This process also created a freshwater lake that later became Trundholm Mose; the finding spot of Denmark’s most famous Bronze Age artefact, The Sun Chariot.

IMPORTANT GEOPARK SITE
G
Furthermore, the chosen area is surrounded by the first UNESCO certified Geopark in Denmark. The establishment of the Geopark has been devised in a way that helps the diminishing Odsherred municipality to reflourish. This creates an opportunity for a symbiosis of sorts; The Geocommunity supporting the Geopark and vice versa.

LACK OF LANDSCAPE IDENTIFICATION The landscape has become fragmented by roads, fencing and non-native species, dividing the area into differing vertical belts, which results in a lack of identity. In order to keep the landscape natural and cohesive, an emphasis on the use of native flora and fauna within the properties and the surrounding environment is made.This equates to better ecology, a community that is unified through nature and an increase in property values. Another issue that the community faces is an absence of activities as well as centers for these activities to occur. This is further exacerbated by inadequate access to the beach and between the summer cottages due to a confusing network of gravel roads, unattractive nodes, hidden streams and only one unused landmark, Hønsinge Mill.

CONNECT • Create greater coherence in the cabin area by strengthening the natural vegetation • Strengthen road and path network within in the cottage area • Improving signage and trails to Korevlerne and, The Sun chariot finding place and Trundholm Mose
Finding place of the Sunchariot
Camping and Shelters Korevlerne Beach Hønsinge mill Odsherred Geocommunity
EDUCATE • Establish natural grounds / nature grounds in neighbourhoods on unwanted/unused properties • Introduce community farming around Hønsinge Village and at the camp colonies next to Korevlerne • Create attachment and identification to the landscape through involving its residents in the development

UPLIFT
Sun Chariot
• Create new node around abandoned property at Lyngvej • Create new community center at the Mill in Hønsinge • Emphasize streams along paths • Emphasize the Sun Chariot finding place
STRATEGY AND ACTIONS
Existing trail
To successfully carry out the design interventions and create a solid framework, a strategy has been created. The strategy firstly seeks to educate by promoting and communicating the unique cultural and geological history of the area. Secondly it looks to uplift by accentuating nodes of activity, water streams
Potential trail Existing shelter
and cultural sites. Lastly, the strategy comprises of connecting by extending access to public areas with clearly marked paths and creating a natural wave of local nature types. A focus of the proposal includes a design discourse where the site is seen as more than a body with limiting boundaries. Building the Geocommunity will start as a small-scale process
Potential shelter Community Center
Education
beginning in the nodes we have chosen to work with. These include Hønsinge Mill, the abandoned property along Lyngvej and the parcelled cottages bordering the fields. Once these areas of control have been repurposed, the reach of their transformations will radiate past their boundaries and throughout the Korevlerne Geocommunity.

NATURAL NEIGHBOURHOODS
Fragmented parcel lots
Sketch of border between parcel cottage area and the field/bog. The photograph shows the present situation and the sketch our design proposal. The stream has been re-naturalized. Trails follow the stream and edge of the cottage area. This backside has been turned into a frontside.
Unified neighbourhood in a natural environment.
Good spaces with sun, shelter and privacy.
Foreclosure of the parking area, outbuildings, trash rack, etc.
Over half of the land are left with natural tree, shrub and plant growth Wild animals such as fox, hare and deer can pass freely over ground No visible boundary. Stands and open areas with heather or wild flowers that exceeds the boundary Trees in harmony with the natural or locally characteristic species such as oak, birch, mountain ash, pine, etc.
Example of a fragmented landscape due to properties closed off around the borders.
Example of a property well integrated into the landscape.
Axonometry of neighbourhood in the parcel cottage area in the transition phase. A community garden has been established on the upper left lot by the neighbourhood. The lots to the right have opened up to the newly re-established bog, and brought the heathland into their gardens. The lots in the middle are still closed off.
