Today, there is a plethora of different types of architecture awards, and nominating projects is often a time-consuming process. At KHR Architecture, we primarily spend our time creating great architecture rather than applying for awards. Nevertheless, we have been awarded some prestigious architecture and building awards over the years, which you can see listed below. Most recently, the children and youth hospital Glasblokkene was nominated for the title "Building of the Year in Norway".
Going to Berlin soon? Then get inspired by KHR's architectural study tour with an intensive 3-day architecture programme through the German capital.
Berlin's history has given it a diverse architectural expression. The city is 9 times larger than Paris, and while districts like Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg have already undergone a huge transformation since the fall of the Wall, gentrification in peripheral areas like Wedding is still in its early stages. In other words, there's plenty of inspiration and perspective to be had if you're interested in architecture and urban development.
KHR Architecture was founded in 1946 by Gunnar Krohn and Eigil Hartvig Rasmussen, who knew each other through their spouses, who were also architects. Read the full story here.
Thank you to all our clients, partners and colleagues who came to celebrate our 75th anniversary last Friday, making it the day and evening we had hoped for. Scroll down to see photos from the day.
The Danish pavilion put architect Jan Søndergaard on the map as one of the great Danish architects. To this day, the pavilion stands as a major work in the history of KHR and Danish architecture.
The inauguration of Bang & Olufsen's headquarters served as one large showroom for Bang & Olufsen's culture and production. It has been said of the entrance to the building that it is like walking into a huge B&O plant. Designed by Jan Søndergaard, who is known for his architecture that becomes like art in the landscape, the building is located near B&O's home town of Struer, overlooking picturesque fields of grazing sheep. The interior is experienced in relation to the surrounding landscape with reflections from the sky light in a physical juxtaposition of spaces that visually connect inside and outside.
