Overview

The combined production and administration building for fibreglass manufacturer Fiberline rises as an identity-creating landmark by the motorway close to Middelfart. Like a 300 metre long hill, the building grows out of the landscape and shoots back towards the sky. At the same time, Fiberline was created with a clear focus on creating the optimal production flow and good lighting conditions throughout the building. The result is an award-winning building that combines aesthetics and function in an exemplary way.

The architecture supports an optimal production flow

The building is designed to support an optimal production flow. The height of the space is defined by a high bearing for changing use. The warehouse is integrated into the architecture of the space as a dynamic and central installation within the building. Production-related functions are located on the ground floor and all administrative, research and market-related functions are located in a gallery, which forms the east-facing facade of the building.

"Fiberline is the result of a meeting between a committed client, us as architects and the landscape."

Light is life-giving and in Fiberline light has almost become the architecture. Steel structures are minimised and windows are fitted in Fiberline fibreglass, which ensures maximum light penetration.

Light slits stage the glass beams

The room's working light through the three large light slits creates a varied working space that also stages the many light-reflecting white glass strands that make up the majority of the production itself.

Trestensvej - social and private housing

On Trestensvej in Skælskør, a mixed residential area is being created with 34 apartments in circular houses and 24 homes in terraced houses. KHR Architecture is the architectural consultant for the social housing company Bo-Vita and the property company Trestensvej ApS, who have joined forces on the social part of the project in a delegated client model. The project is being developed in collaboration with Sandkjær and Svanen Development. In addition to the 58 homes, green common areas and a community centre will be created to create a good community on Trestensvej.

Auditorium transformation

The auditorium at Carlsberg Campus has been redesigned to better match the actual needs and thus achieve a higher utilisation of the room. Carlsberg Campus educates teachers, pedagogues, sign language interpreters and textile mediators, and teaching here is centred around dialogue and group work rather than one-way communication to large groups, as the original layout suggested. Kathrine Wang Esbjørn has been responsible for the entire process, from workshops and analyses to defining needs and obtaining quotes. The project is ready for DGNB space certification if the client wishes.

New DGNB certification: DGNB for Interiors

DGNB for Interiors is a new certification branch of the DGNB system that focuses specifically on interior design projects and smaller renovations. Get in touch with our DGBN Space consultant Kathrine if you want to know more about the possibilities.

Architectural study trip to Amsterdam

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.
