Building site inspection in Berlin

22 May 2023

Construction of the "Am Breiten Luch" school in the Lichtenberg neighbourhood of Berlin is in full swing. Janina Zerbe, Lars Kragh and Carsten Hyldebrandt have been on site with our client, HOWOGE, and our German partner, Renner Architekten. The school with its double sports hall is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2025 and will contribute to a neighbourhood uplift in the Lichtenberg district.

Schule am Breiten Luch - construction site sign
The Am Breiten Luch school is being built on a challenging site in a heavily trafficked area. One of the architectural solutions is to stack the two sports halls on top of each other and raise them above ground level to optimise space utilisation, keep central piping clear and shield the learning spaces from traffic noise.
Lichtenberg is located in the eastern part of Berlin and is characterised by a traditional East German slab construction. Once completed, the new school will also serve as a meeting place for the local community by providing good facilities for sports, music, creative endeavours or gatherings of all kinds.
ABL construction
The foundation stone was laid in January and now the Am Breiten Luch school is starting to go up. All concrete is cast in situ, rather than using panels as would typically be done in Denmark.
HOWOGE is one of Berlin's municipal housing associations and is one of Germany's largest landlords, with approximately 73,500 rental apartments. Thanks to its long experience as a developer and the synergies inherent in the development of residential areas and the construction of new schools and day-care centres, HOWOGE also acts as developer for a number of Berlin's numerous school projects. Due to a rapidly growing need for more school places, a "Schulbauoffensive" has been launched and HOWOGE alone is currently building 11 new schools.
With the base slab in place and a building going up to the first floor, you can start to feel the spatialities and proportions of the school 1:1.
Janina Zerbe is happy to see what started as a competition entry being realised.
A large municipal water pipe runs across the site and needs to be kept clear of construction, which was one of the challenges in the design phase.
The cranes have been mobilised for the 5-storey building.

Wayfinding - Udenrigsministeriets vareindlevering

Udenrigsministeriet oplevede udfordringer med vareindleveringen på Asiatisk Plads. Pakkebude havde svært ved at finde frem til den rigtige indgang og forstå, hvordan pakker skulle afleveres. Resultatet var hyppige opkald via samtaleanlæg og behov for manuel hjælp. Med en ny wayfinding-løsning er der nu skabt en mere overskuelig og intuitiv proces, der kombinerer tydelig supergrafik med praktiske løsninger, så både leverandører og medarbejdere får en enklere og mere effektiv hverdag.

Flyverbyen - byplan- og bygherrerådgivning

KHR Architecture har som byplankonsulent for Sweco stået for udviklingen af et tidligere industriområde på 80.000 m² tæt på Københavns lufthavn. Nu skal det transformeres til en levende bydel med aktiviteter, kultur og erhverv. Projektet omfatter både transformation af 10 eksisterende bygninger og mulighed for opførelse af op til 24.000 m² nybyggeri. Kommunen har i april 2025 godkendt lokalplanen, hvilket åbner for en bred vifte af erhverv, kreative værksteder og fritidsaktiviteter. Vores byplanarbejde har sikret en sammenhængende udvikling med fokus på fleksibilitet, bæredygtighed og områdets unikke karakter – fra de første visioner til endelig politisk vedtagelse.

Sundsvallbroen

Sundsvallsbroen er et resultat af vores vinderforslag i en arkitektkonkurrence og efterfølgende arbejde som arkitektrådgiver på projektet. Broen er blevet en markant men harmonisk tilføjelse til Sundsvall, der forbinder byens centrum med de omkringliggende landskaber på en måde, som respekterer og indrammer omgivelserne. Med en samlet længde på over 2 kilometer og en frihøjde på cirka 33 meter skaber broen et nyt urbant rum, hvor bugten, byens silhuet og de omgivende bakker mødes i et sammenhængende og dynamisk hele. Trods sin imponerende størrelse smelter broen sammen med omgivelserne og bliver et naturligt led i byens struktur.

Milestone in German school project

At the topping-out ceremony for the new Lehrte-Süd school centre, the city mayor and others praised the good cooperation and the fact that the project is on time and on budget. The 100 million euro project is being realised in a public-private partnership and brings together an integrated comprehensive school and secondary school under one roof. The first stage will be completed in 2026 and will provide schooling for 1,800 students.

Wayfinding in Copenhagen car parks

How do you find your car in a grey concrete world? In collaboration with By & Havn, KHR has developed a wayfinding concept that makes it easier to find your way in a number of Copenhagen's car parks where it was previously difficult to find your way. The concept creates clarity and recognisability across the facilities - while adapting to the architecture and usage patterns of each car park. With simple tools such as colours, pictograms and mega-graphics, both function and aesthetics are supported in everyday life for thousands of users.
