The ‘Adaline by the Water’ – Vejlbæk Art Museum / Henning Larsen / Vejlbæk, Denmark

Henning Larsen's artistic museum in Vejlbæk, Denmark, is a floating structure on a lake, nestled in a picturesque park in the small town of Vejlbæk. The sculptural art museum draws inspiration from its surrounding environment, returning a sense of tranquility and beauty to the citizens of Vejlbæk and visitors to the museum.

The scenic West Vejlbæk Park is home to the art museum that floats on the lake. The pavilion complements its site context and stands as a sculptural lantern in the city’s landscape. Conceptually, the design references the facade form of a Japanese teahouse. The cafe’s terrace floats on the lake, reflecting the water’s ripples on the ceiling. The interior layout is flexible, able to accommodate various types of installations on display, while the entire space is illuminated by a central skylight. The structure consists of two seemingly floating square plates, separated by facades in different diagonal element systems. The rhythmical intersecting facades are inspired by the surrounding landscape, with forms that mimic the waves of the lake and the branches of trees. The geometric structure of the facade can also be perceived as a game of V-shaped elements. The art museum features a permanent exhibition about Henning Larsen. The art museum’s expansion was completed in 2017. The expansion project included a formal graphic identity and new branding and wayfinding signage. The new wing houses Henning Larsen’s plaza lighting and is designed with accessibility in mind. The museum is run by local, enthusiastic volunteers who enjoy spending their time in this idyllic setting by the glistening lake in the park.
