Erlebnis-Hus St. Peter-Ording

Diverse landscapes captured in latticed timber frames

Holzer Kobler

In the coastal resort town of St. Peter-Ording, Germany, a visitor center made of latticed wooden frames stands along the walking paths, blending seamlessly with the seaside landscape. The structure consists of five interconnected cubes, each housing a different function: a play area, information center, shop, restaurant, and staff offices. Created through a design competition to replace a long-standing game house, the visitor center marks the end of the promenade and serves as a welcoming space for beachgoers, deeply connected to the local community and shaping its identity in both form and function.

The lattice timber frame draws inspiration from the pile structures commonly found on the beach, which historically offered protection against rising tides. Given the site’s flood protection designation, the building rests on a concrete pile foundation, with a tightly woven timber lattice measuring 4.5 x 4.5 meters. The lattice integrates naturally into the surrounding environment, but it also reflects elements of metabolic architecture, with the modular repetition allowing for potential future expansion. 

Each of the five cubes is enclosed by wood on three sides, with the fourth side opening to large windows that offer views of the sea, natural habitats, walkways, and distant landscapes. Terraces and staircases are strategically placed throughout, allowing access and interaction across multiple levels. A reinforced concrete core, containing an elevator and equipment rooms, stabilizes the wooden structure. Play equipment is built into the architectural design, encouraging visitors to engage with the space in playful ways, both inside and outside.
To the east, visitors can enjoy a small skate park and outdoor seating area, while to the west, a metal slide descends from the roof to the first floor, inviting playful exploration. To the south, a bridge extends toward a nearby dike, ending in an elevated platform that offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, providing a scenic spot for reflection and observation.

Designed as an open and accessible visitor center, it incorporates sustainable and ecological solutions and hosts a variety of activities throughout the year. The latticed wooden frames and large windows allow glimpses of the people inside, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere that draws more visitors to explore.
