A blue entrance to the city in the sea

The main concept of the project is to reestablish the topography of the Swedish archipelago (skärgård) around Karlskrona thereby creating a transition from the mainland - A landscape stretching across several smaller islands (holme) leading to the island of Trossö. This is achieved by cutting out the disappeared islands of Hattmakareholmen, Skomakarholmen and Pantarholmen from the reclamation ground that was originally taken from the sea during the planning paradigms of the industrial era in the 19th and 20th century. We propose to create a main entrance to Karlskrona where you will be led across bridges and water, literally island hopping your way onto the old city center on Trossö. From the main arrival route you will be led across a landscape of sea and islands - Creating a Blue Entrance to the City in the Sea.
