Gymnasium Hochrad is a secondary school for grades 5-13 in an attractive residential area on the banks of the Elbe just on the outskirts of Hamburg.
The school will be expanded with a new building for classrooms and canteen. Old sports halls are to be replaced by a new one.
Due to limited space, the idea is to place the large volume of the sports hall at -1 level on the sloping terrain. This creates a more harmonious whole in terms of height and makes it possible to utilise parts of the hall's roof to expand the schoolyard. The stairs between the existing and the new outdoor area create a nice seating oasis with a view of the schoolyard to the south.
The classroom building itself is built as a two-storey, lightweight wooden structure on top of the other part of the sports hall, which minimises the carbon footprint and saves space.

By combining Danish technology and know-how with a concrete challenge of handling large amounts of sugarcane waste in Peru, we are developing a modular building system based on digital production technologies. The building system is initially aimed at temporary construction, but the ambition is to eventually develop modules for permanent structures.
The project is an international collaboration between seven partners and combines three areas of innovation: modular architecture, new material technologies and digital fabrication.

Østerport Station from 1897 was probably created with a terrazzo floor, which has since been replaced by tiles. In the 2019 renovation, it was decided to return to the original terrazzo look with a continuous terrazzo flooring in the station, corridor, staircase and business areas.In fact, the choice of terrazzo also has operational advantages compared to tiled floors, for example. In fact, terrazzo is particularly suitable for high-traffic areas because it is hard-wearing and can withstand the effects of moisture that a station floor, for example, is exposed to.
Kronen in Vanløse is to be revitalised, transforming the insolvent centre into a dynamic town centre with much more to offer than just shopping.

In short, the reconstruction includes new functions on the first floor of the centre, new housing and improved outdoor spaces on the roof, and not least a completely transformed and upgraded "Metro square" on the south-facing terrace.
