Moens Feriepark will be the first DBNG-certified holiday park in Denmark, completely in line with the UN’s climate objectives.

Moens Feriepark

Kayaking along the coast, hiking along the Camønoen route and a glistening sea of stars in an unpolluted night’s sky. These are just a few of the many outstanding experiences with nature that will define Moens Feriepark.

The park, which will be located by the bay of Hjelm Bugt along the southeastern coast of Møn, will offer guests a new and unique opportunity to enjoy nature in architecturally stylish surroundings.

The holiday park will be built from sustainable and recycled materials from previous developments while also incorporating all of the latest energy-saving technologies into its design.

This will make Møns Feriepark one of the first DGNB-certified holiday parks in Denmark, completely in line with the UN’s climate objectives.

Adapted to the modern family

When the holiday park is complete, it will consist of just under 69 small accommodation clusters with 497 holiday homes in total. These clusters will give guests ample opportunities to arrange their stay around the extended family with focus placed firmly on spending quality time together, and there is also a broad range of activities on offer for guests in search of adventure – and without the need to compromise on comfort or quality.

The houses will offer direct access to a wealth of exciting activities in nature such as hiking, running, horseback riding, cycling and much, much more.

Down by the bay, guests will be able to take in the gorgeous coast from the water on a kayak or sailboat. The enticing jetty invites visitors to jump right into the waves while a sauna allows for enjoyment all year round. Or alternatively, guests can stay cosy in the indoor pool.

At the core of the development is a loving design which naturally integrates the beach, dunes and orchards through the use of cycle lanes, walking paths and through boardwalks in the wetland areas.

The park’s areas of natural beauty, with their direct access to the beach, forest and sea, are therefore well-suited to the modern family, who are looking not just for waterparks, but for activity and inspiration.

Schmidt Hammer Lassen

Morten Schmidt, from one of Scandinavia’s most acclaimed and award-winning architectural firms, Schmidt Hammer Lassen, has been tasked with designing and developing Moens Feriepark.

Schmidt Hammer Lassen has a unique and distinguished tradition of delivering on high-quality international architecture projects, and their work is deeply anchored in Nordic architectural traditions based on democracy, welfare, aesthetics, light, sustainability and social responsibility – all the same qualities that lie at the heart of Moens Feriepark.

Schmidt Hammer Lassen has previously designed Aros Art Museum and the Black Diamond Cultural Centre, and

the firm is also behind a long stretch of other impressive projects, both in Denmark and around the world.

In January 2018, the company became part of the global architect firm Perkins & Will, and in addition to Copenhagen, Schmidt Hammer Lassen also currently has offices in Aarhus and Shanghai, from which SHL delivers international architecture of the highest quality to clients all over the world.

Schmidt Hammer Lassen primarily specialises in cultural and educational buildings, offices, professional services, retail and residential developments, often in mixed-use projects and complex urban contexts.

Most of their projects span multiple aspects in scale, from interior and concept design through to master plans and from project design through to urban development and landscape.

The architectural firm has ample global experience in the design of libraries and other public and cultural landmarks, including the Katuaq Cultural Centre in Nuuk, Greenland (1997), the extension of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen (1999), the ARoS Art Museum in Aarhus (2004), the Halifax Central Library in Canada (2015) and the largest public library in Scandinavia, the Dokk1 Library in Aarhus (2015).

SHL places great value on projects which interact with their urban context, their wider surroundings and their social environment, such as Malmö Live – a concert venue/convention centre/hotel complex in Sweden (2015), Nigbo Home of Staff in China (under construction) and the Christchurch Central Library in New Zealand (under construction).

As a Danish architectural firm, SHL has a keen interest in contributing towards local development all across the country. The project’s lead architect, Morten Schmidt, is therefore looking forward to: “creating an attractive base for tourists and visitors who want to enjoy Møn’s magnificent natural beauty and the many exciting projects that have been undertaken to boost tourism.”

Morten Schmidt

Ever since the founding of Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects in 1987, Morten Schmidt has amassed considerable experience and expertise within the planning and design of larger scale libraries and cultural institutions all over the world.

Through his role as a leading design architect for public sector architectural projects, he has garnered ample experience in the solution of complex assignments, collaborated with multiple stakeholders simultaneously and advised customer groups and public sector agencies as a part of the development process.

His expertise encompasses the development and communication of breathtaking visions based on cutting-edge design and enduring quality.

Morten’s training in the free-thinking Waldorf School has been fundamental in nurturing and shaping the creativity and artistic freedom that permeate his work.

Under his leadership, Schmidt Hammer Lassen won a Governor General’s Medal in Architecture for the Halifax Central Library in Canada (2016) and an EU Award for Best Collaboration for the Dokk1 Library in Aarhus (2012).

Morten was also the lead designer on the Christchurch Central Library in New Zealand (2018), the redevelopment of the State Library in Victoria, Australia (2020), and the Shanghai Library East in China (2020).

Over the last twenty years, Morten has also worked on the Highlands Branch Library in Edmonton, Canada (2013), Halmstad Library (2016) and Växjö Library (2003) in Sweden and the extension of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen (1999).

Finally, Morten was also a jointly-responsible partner on the Katuaq Cultural Centre in Greenland, the Sir Duncan Rice Library in Scotland and the ARoS Art Museum in Aarhus.
