The new bathing platform on Kastrup beach near Copenhagen is more than just a functional item of leisure infrastructure with seating steps, showers and diving boards. Its striking design and interesting wooden construction makes an architectonic statement. And not just by day either - because a carefully designed lighting concept ensures the platform is also an unmistakeable landmark at night. Prevailing weather conditions are still keeping the numbers of swimmers within limits, but, with its new bathing platform, Kastrup is ready for when the summer throngs arrive.
