The Town Hall marks the border between the old village and the open landscape. The additional volume is inspired by a ship - to underline the ancient function of Tønder as a port - and by the town wall as a phenomenon, marking the spot where the city ends, and the landscape starts. Village centre and moore are connected through the building by a public foyer and gallery stretching across the complex. The extension appear as a clearly defined volume in close interaction with the existing building as well as as with the expansive landscape.
