Architectural study trip to Amsterdam

30 September 2024

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.

'The Children’s Hospital' is back

The Norwegian documentary series *Barnesykehuset* returns with a new series from Glasblokkene in Bergen. The first series was a huge hit with viewers, and now the series continues with new stories from life at the children’s and young people’s hospital. For KHR, the series also offers a unique insight into our architecture in use. The camera follows children, families and staff through the hospital’s spaces and shows how daylight, views, nature and space for everyday life form part of daily life at Glasblokkene.
