Two kinds of traffic

Finger D is the first building in Kastrup to be prepared for non-Schengen/Schengen traffic. The finger is on 2 floors with non-Schengen passengers on top. To respect the "land border" between the two areas, there are over two metre high glass partitions all around the non-Schengen.

The separation between non-Schengen and Schengen passengers is done via an elevator/staircase immediately after the passengers leave the bridge and enter Finger D. The stairwells are located outside the through façade. Non-Schengen passengers then walk on footbridges across the lounge and Schengen area to a balcony level with longitudinal moving walkways leading them to passport and security control. The Schengen area also has moving walkways through the 200 m long connecting area.

Connectors

The name, Finger D, is actually misleading. The existing fingers: A, B and C in Kastrup are located perpendicular to the south and all emanate from the main direction, where all the terminals and shopping centres are located in a unified band. The strip extends from west to east from Terminal 1 to the inland terminal, via the bus terminal to Terminal 3 - the station terminal. Finger D forms part of this belt as a link of approximately 200 m to a new Terminal 4. The finger is approximately 9,000 m2 and was inaugurated in 1999.

"Finger D is the last major expansion of Copenhagen Airport. It has been developed as a natural extension of KHR's projects at Copenhagen Airport starting with Finger B in 1986."

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.

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.
