Wayfinding at Nuuk school

At Nuuk School, wayfinding is an integral part of the architecture and user experience. Students, teachers and visitors must be able to easily find their way around the many buildings and functions - not through heavy signage systems, but through a visual and sensory strategy based on Greenland's rich nature, colour codes and playful symbolism. The result is a recognisable and logical environment that supports learning and well-being.

Wayfinding at hospital in Bergen

The wayfinding concept at Haukeland Children's Hospital is an example of how good architecture can make complex buildings easy to understand and move around in. Already in the early design phases, the focus has been on supporting intuitive orientation and efficient flows for children, relatives and staff. The combination of thoughtful architecture, target group-specific signage, individual colour concepts for each block and integrated art elements create recognisability and a sense of place in the 79,000 m² hospital.

The glass blocks make their TV debut

The Norwegian Children's Hospital Glasblokkene makes its TV debut in NRK's new documentary series Barnesykehuset, which premieres this week. The series follows eight employees in their daily work with young patients and their families. At KHR ARchitecture, we are eagerly waiting for DR to hopefully buy the rights so we can see 'our' hospital in action.

Mittelangeln School Centre

Schulzentrum Mittelangeln near the Danish-German border will have three new school buildings designed by KHR Architecture and bpplan. The project, which was won in a tender competition, comprises a total of 12,700 square metres across three buildings and phases. The client focuses on a short construction time and a high standard of sustainability, which is met by using prefabricated wooden modules.
