Lucy in the Sky, a single room hotel, combines the power of architects and visual artists in to an extraordinary urban retreat. About 8 years ago the harbour district ‘Havenkwartier’ was given new life after years of neglect and economic decline. Local government offered young creatives like artists, designers and musicians the possibility to open shop in the old barracks. Low cost, rough neighborhood and basic infrastructure did the trick ,people started moving in establishing their own community, simular to more places in Europe at the time.The change in destiny for the harbour district opened up the possibilities for serious action in public space and that’s where we come in.Being part of that creative community and already active in the public domain we teamed up in 2011 as friends and colleagues by founding the Lucy COOP, with the aim of creating a public space which is more fun, more inspiring and more surprising.
