Savings bank in Middelfart
Middelfart, a small town in the west part of the island of Funen, is in many respects typically Danish: plastered clinker houses and half-timbered buildings, rarely more than two storeys high, flank the Algade (designated as a pedestrian zone) situated in the heart of the town. The former industrial plants on the banks of the river have been replaced successively during the past ten years with river-bank promenades, a marina, residential buildings and a cultural centre. The new savings bank by architects 3XN is located between these two zones. It has an unobstructable north-facing sea view and, in the south, is part of the row of houses along Algade.
