Kalvebod Wave, Waterfront esplanade in Copenhagen, Denmark
The Kalvebod Wave forms two curved wooden platforms extending into Copenhagen harbor, creating separate inner basins for water activities.
The site underwent transformation in 2013, converting an industrial harbor section into a recreational space designed by JDS Architects and Urban Agency.
The esplanade connects Copenhagen residents to maritime activities through multiple levels that accommodate swimming, kayaking, and social gatherings.
Located near Copenhagen Central Station, the 4,200-square-meter structure remains open throughout the year for water sports and leisure activities.
The architects positioned the main piers according to shadow patterns from nearby buildings, maximizing sunlight exposure for visitors throughout the day.
