HOUSE OF PEACE
In an increasingly anxiety-inducing world, imagine a place, in the heart of a capital city, where all the sound and fury of modern life melts away, leaving a deep sense of calm in its wake. Imagine a space in the bustle of Københavns Havn where we can escape the din and anxiety of modern life and, in so doing, remind ourselves that peace begins with us.
Welcome to The House of Peace a pioneering project born from the collaboration between House of Peace Foundation, Japanese visionary artist, Junya Ishigami and Svendborg Architects
House Of Peace.
HOPE
At its essence, The House of Peace transcends conventional architecture. With its ethereal, cloud-like form, suspended between water and sky, House of Peace stands as a symbol of tranquillity, a reminder that world peace starts within.
Visitors to The House of Peace are invited – in waves of no more than 40 people at a time – to experience an hour of uninterrupted meditation, a precious gift of solitude and self-reflection. Amidst the gentle lapping of waves, individuals are encouraged, in this space of aloneness and community, to cultivate a sense of harmony to carry with them beyond the confines of the structure.
Designed as a beacon of serenity, The House of Peace provides a rare and entirely non-denominational sanctuary in which visitors, whilst embarking on their own meditative journeys, are invited to commune with the natural world; the structure serving as a haven for both humans and marine life alike. Beneath its serene surface lies a submerged refuge designed – in collaboration with the environmental art collective, Superflex – to accommodate and protect marine ecosystems where sea life can seek shelter and thrive in their own tranquil hideaway.
Central to the experience of The House of Peace is this merging of two worlds: the terrestrial and the aquatic. As visitors enter, they are greeted by footage of the marine life below and around them, serving as a poignant reminder of the hidden beauty of underwater life and of our interconnectedness with nature.
The House of Peace isn’t just a space; it’s a call for change. It emphasizes personal peace and environmental stewardship, urging individuals to pave the way for a more harmonious world.
We invite you to join us in creating this transformative sanctuary designed to inspire generations to come.
Be the change. Make The House of Peace happen.
