EGERSUND WATERFRONT REVITALISATION

Status: Completed

Client: Eigersund municipality, Riksantikvar, Rogaland fylkeskommune
Type: Rehabilitation & transformation
Program: Residential, house
Location: Egersund, Norway
Year: 2024-2026

The study explores how this heritage-listed waterfront can be revitalised through careful, place-specific interventions. The project builds on existing structures, circulation patterns, and the historic relationship between the city and the sea.

Development is framed as continuity. New additions are approached as analogies, and contemporary elements align with the historic scale, proportions and material logic.

The future harbor promenade is structured not as a single linear gesture, but as a series of strengthened connections between town, quarter and waterfront. By improving transverse links across Strandgaten and reinforcing existing movement patterns, the project reconnects the area to the wider town centre, enabling urban life, everyday use and seasonal events to extend naturally towards the water.

The ambition is not only preservation, but synergy. Underused buildings are activated, local businesses and cultural functions are supported, and the historic waterfront is brought back into the daily rhythm of Egersund.
