Explore the architecture, inspired by the sea and the city
At Aarhus Øje, you can explore the full story of the Lighthouse and how Aarhus' new landmark came to be. You can read about the architects from 3XN, who had a vision to create a truly unique building.
A vision to create a beacon for the whole of Aarhus, which welcomes everyone. The water, waves, nature and view of the entire bay have been the inspiration for creating the Lighthouse. The curved and soft lines of the building itself are a reflection of the water and the eternal movement of the waves. The diversity of Aarhus and the diversity of people has also been the source of inspiration for a building design characterised by diversity.
