    Heart - residential project with business

Overview

Hvidovrevejs Butikstorv is to be renewed and the area extended with an additional 8400 sqm for housing, business and parking.
KHR Architecture has designed a terraced building with 86 new apartments based on an efficient modular concept. The community is supported by a community centre and a green courtyard, while the local environment is enhanced by a new urban square. The plan is to give a facelift to the existing buildings, so that the development has a uniform look.

Balconies, roof terraces and green courtyards

The residential block is designed as a horseshoe in levels, sloping down towards the existing retail square. This ensures both good light conditions and space for a screened, green common area. 

All apartments have balconies and the upper ones have their own roof terrace. Due to the location between Hvidovrevej and Dalumvej, there are dust screens and double glazed windows, which allow you to air out without letting in the city noise.

Focus on buildability

The design of the facade is based on the requirements of the local plan as well as specifications from module and material suppliers, while the apartment plans are re-used to facilitate the design and construction phase. In this way, aesthetics and buildability go hand in hand.

"The green courtyard and a community centre mean that people in the development will naturally come together more. At the same time, it is a great advantage for the small tenements that residents can use the common house when they need more space on special occasions."

Torben Juul, Design Director and Partner

Trestensvej - social and private housing

On Trestensvej in Skælskør, a mixed residential area is being created with 34 apartments in circular houses and 24 homes in terraced houses. KHR Architecture is the architectural consultant for the social housing company Bo-Vita and the property company Trestensvej ApS, who have joined forces on the social part of the project in a delegated client model. The project is being developed in collaboration with Sandkjær and Svanen Development. In addition to the 58 homes, green common areas and a community centre will be created to create a good community on Trestensvej.

Auditorium transformation

The auditorium at Carlsberg Campus has been redesigned to better match the actual needs and thus achieve a higher utilisation of the room. Carlsberg Campus educates teachers, pedagogues, sign language interpreters and textile mediators, and teaching here is centred around dialogue and group work rather than one-way communication to large groups, as the original layout suggested. Kathrine Wang Esbjørn has been responsible for the entire process, from workshops and analyses to defining needs and obtaining quotes. The project is ready for DGNB space certification if the client wishes.

New DGNB certification: DGNB for Interiors

Architectural study trip to Amsterdam

We love our annual study trip that offers professional inspiration hand in hand with collegial fun! This year we travelled to Amsterdam, where historic charm meets innovative design. Through guided walks through sustainable neighbourhoods, bike rides across the iconic canals and informal dancing, we learned how Amsterdam balances tradition and modernity.
