Skanderborg’s new museum – Perron1 – has a unique location due to its close connection to the station and the unrealized potential that lies in being able to attract visitors from all over Denmark – both as a planned destination and for people who are just passing through. At the same time, the new arrivals building will be visible from a long distance in several places in the city – a new landmark that, with its visibility, helps to tie the whole city together.
Even from down on the lake, you can see Skanderborg’s new museum rising up among the trees and the city’s roofs. We do not want to create a postulated icon building, but we see an unfulfilled potential in creating a new city gate to Skanderborg that functions as a visible landmark in the city.
