Ukendt Beach

Roof tiles, rubber liner, standard roofing lumber. 40’ x 8’ x 15’

Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

Commissioned: Instant Herlev Institute

This repurposing of roofing materials and techniques is a terra cotta roof tile deck descending into a captured rainwater “sea” in the front yard of a suburban home. An invitation to lounge on private property as though it were a public beach.
