Join us on a construction site in Nuuk

16 March 2023

Nuuk School has been designed with an eye for differentiated forms of learning and as a gathering place for the entire neighbourhood. A number of specially developed techniques and solutions in both architecture and interior design make the project a school in a class of its own.
Associate Partner and Project Manager Morten Nøhr Frandsen has been in Nuuk to supervise the large new school being built in Nuuk. See the fresh pictures from the construction site here.

The roof geometry allows light to enter at good angles to all corners of the world, so that even during the dark season, natural light can be optimally utilised.

Social sustainability is a key focus of the project. In addition to being a school that is designed with an eye for inclusion and different forms of learning, it is also intended as a gathering place for the neighbourhood's residents.

Dividing the large school into smaller units creates safe spaces for even the smallest children.
Beautiful Arctic March weather.
The facade will be clad with facade panels cut into shapes of local flora and fauna, which will be placed in front of coloured panels. The technique was developed specifically for the project.
The use of colours is part of the Greenlandic building tradition. At the same time, colours and shapes give identity to the different sections of the school, contribute to wayfinding and provide input for learning.
Red cedar is also part of the façade. The Arctic climate places high demands on the materials if they are to be long-lasting and age gracefully.
Nuuk town is seen through the large skylight.

Nomad Workspace

KHR Architecture has been the architectural consultant for the transformation of a listed neoclassical courthouse into a modern office community. Nomad Workspace is an office environment of approximately 2,500 square metres divided into private and open office areas, work lounges, café, common areas, meeting facilities and event spaces. We transformed the interior of the building from cellular offices to an open office landscape - bringing the building back to its original spaciousness and character, in a reinterpreted version.
