West of Falsterbo canal The site is located next to the north piers of Falsterbo canal. Within the piers are a small marina. The proximity of the site to the communities Ljunghusen and Höllviken makes the area an excellent site to develop for public use. The site is also easy to access for visitors which comes from outside of Falsterbo peninsula since it is close to the road which connects the peninsula to the mainland.

One school and one daycare center are situated within 700 meters from the site. The area can be designed so that it offers both recreation and pedagogical activities. Student engagement on the site could help to create a living atmosphere which intrigues other persons to visit and appreciate the site.

WetlandThe wetland in the area has many values. It creates a barrier which mitigate the forces of storms from damaging the shoreline and nearby houses. It is also a habitat for birds and fishes and it stores CO2.

Today it is not possible to walk along the entire shoreline of the site. The path along the shoreline ends at a marshland. The path is also uneven and unsuitable for people with mobility impairment.

Inaccessible

The proximity to the canal could be a value for the site. The area is near to an already established meeting place where people come to have walks along the piers and watch the boats.

BeachNatureUrban

A dyke is constructed along the shoreline protecting the housing area from the rising sea level and storms. The coast line will be made accessible by a path which is constructed on top of the dyke. The marsh area wish is an important feeding and resting spot for migrating birds will move upwards with the rising sea level. The area where the marshland once was will in the future be flooded by the rising sea.

The marsh has insipred the design of a new urban water park which is constructed on rafts and connected to the pier of Falsterbo canal. The urban location of the area makes it a suitable site for the development of accessible recreation. The urban wetland imitates the properties of the current wetland and can similarly function as both an animal habitat and as a defense construction

which mitigates the forces of high waves under storms. Scale 1:2,000

At Höllviken bay The site is located at Höllviken bay on Falsterbo peninsula in Vellinge municipality. The site is situated to the west of Falsterbo canal. To the east of the canal is the community Höllviken with approximately 10, 000 inhabitants. The community to the west of the canal is called Ljunghusen and has a bit more than 2, 500 inhabitants.

Shore charactersThe management and development of the shoreline differ depending on the qualities of the shoreline. Parts of the shoreline with a natural character should be managed so the natural values of the areas are protected. The beaches of Falsterbo peninsula should be managed so that their recreational values are accessible and sustained. The sites classified as urban are of value due to their close proximity to urban development. These sites should be used so that they are accessible to the nearby housing areas. They can have a harder structure than the more natural areas and the beaches. The site of the proposal is within an area classified as urban.

The threat of the sea The Swedish metereological institute, SMHI, has predicted that a hundred years from today the sea level along the Swedish coast is expected to have risen 1 meter over the current sea level due to the effects of climate change. At the site of the proposal the predicted sea level rise threatens to damage nearby housing lots and infrastructure. Under stormy conditions waves can reach high elevations and damage areas beneath 2 meters over sea level.

Dyke +2,1 m

Defense A dyke which with a height of 2.1 meters over sea level is constructed along the coast line, protecting the interior houses. In the southwest the dyke is connected to an existing track bed which is also risen to 2.1 meters above sea level. The existing wetland to the southwest mitigates the forces of high waves. This wetland is prolonged all the way to the pier by a floating wetland constructed on plastic and wooden rafts. In the east the pier of Falsterbo canal is risen to 2.8 meter above sea level. The shape of the dyke and wetland is constructed to fit between existing trees, valuable natural areas and property lots. The shape is mainly organic, mimicking the shape of the coastline. However the shape ends towards the pier in a more geometrical shape, which corresponds to the sharper angles of the piers

Key design rules

Embrace the wetland

Grow community

Make accessible

When the sea level rises this area will be partly flooded. Perhaps the character of the site will change? Maybe the current wetland which today is located next to the sea will in a hundred years migrate to the area which is today a shore meadow. However the boardwalk will still stand above the sea level and let the visitors connect to and pass through the landscape.

The design of the dyke is organic and follows the coastline. The dyke embraces and protects the nearby houses. To the west of the site, the dyke turns straight down towards the existing track bed. The pedestrian walkway on top of the dyke continues along an elevated board walk which meanders in between existing trees on top of the shore meadow.

Urban wetlandRebecka Ingemansson Design Project- Site, Concept and Theory LK0086

A part of the raft structure is a floating garden. Elavated plantations is situated in a geometrical pattern next to holes in the raft were edible seaweed and oysters can be grown. This area can be used for pedagogical purposes by the nearby school and daycare center in Ljunghusen which can be assigned part of the garden. Here the children can learn about growing their own food and about marine agriculture.

An other part of the raft structure consist of a constructed wetland. Natural, local wetland vegetation is planted on this raft. There is paths and a room within the constructed wetland which people can walk to. This area is a protected area where people can come in close contact to the atmosphere of a wetland. This is an area for contemplation, relaxation and exploration.

The floating rafts functions as a defense which protects the shoreline from the forces of high waves. When the water level changes the rafts moves with the water. The ramp which connects the dyke and the floating rafts is also constructed to move according to the changing sea level.

The raft is connected to an elevated platform next to the pier. This platform is a place for exploration and a viewing point over the area. On the platform is a flight of stairs on which people can sit and watch over the bay, passing boats and the wildlife of the area. On the patform is also small reed huts which can be explored and which offer protection from wind and rain.
