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."

KHR Architecture establishes department focusing on German projects

KHR Architecture hires four architects with experience from German projects in order to fulfil its tasks in Germany at a high level. In the past year, KHR Architecture has won four projects in Northern Germany, which the new colleagues will work on. The first three new colleagues have just started and the last one will follow in January.

Glasblokkene II - Haukeland Children's Hospital with Women's Clinic

Glasblokkene is a hospital for children, young people and women in Bergen. The hospital is built in two stages with four building blocks in each. It is a unique project both architecturally and in terms of the design and construction process itself. Glasblokkene II is the first fully digital hospital construction project in the world.
Despite really high quality in architecture, materials and workmanship, the building was completed at a price per square metre that is significantly lower than other Norwegian hospital buildings, and on schedule.

KHR Architecture, together with a German team, has won the task of realising a school centre for 1800 students in the town of Lehrte near Hannover.

Lehrte-Süd school centre

Schulzentrum Lehrte-Süd is a large school project where KHR Architecture, together with German partners, will design and project manage a comprehensive school for 1500 students in the town of Lehrte near Hannover in Northern Germany. The project includes the preservation of an existing building and the architecture will allow some of the school's facilities to be used for external activities and events after school hours. This is a PPP project with a 25-year term, which provides a good opportunity to prioritise long-lasting architectural and material solutions.
