Hvidovre Hospital, designed by KHR and inaugurated in 1976, is a striking example of welfare state hospital architecture. Even back then, the project worked with several of the principles we associate with healing architecture today - including access to green courtyards, clear wayfinding and a human scale. To mark the hospital's 50th anniversary, Hvidovre Hospital interviewed KHR architect Mikkel Beedholm about the building's architecture, the ideals behind it and what still makes the hospital relevant today.

In the historic Customs Building in Toldbodgade, By & Havn has renovated their beautiful premises with respect for the building's architecture and atmosphere. In this connection, KHR Architecture has developed a sign design that supports the building's identity and time period. The solution is based on a discreet and simple approach where the signage adapts to the architecture rather than dominating it. Based on existing typography and materials, a unified whole has been created where wayfinding, aesthetics and cultural heritage merge into a natural extension of the building.
