The 25m-high Marsk Tower – translated as “Marsh Tower” due to its location in the marshlands of Denmark’s popular National Park – offers expansive views of the natural environment. The tower is accessible by wheelchair, an elevator located in the core of the tower provides access via the ground level ramp.

Wadden Sea National Park is one of the last remaining large-scale intertidal ecosystems in the world and is known for its unique natural environment of sea, dune, woods, heaths, fauna and wildlife.

BIG worked on the design for the tower as part of a local partnership with Marsk Camp Group to create an experiential destination that presents the landscape from a new perspective to tourists all over the world.

“Marsk tower is a testament to our two decades-long friendship and collaboration with the blacksmiths of Schacks Trapper,” says Bjarke Ingels, founder and creative director, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group.

“The double helix provides two stairs and an elevator with a single stack of rotating steel steps, allowing visitors to ascend and descend in a single spiralling loop from the sand to the sky – connecting the marsh land to the Wadden Sea.”
