Overview

KHR has contributed with competition proposals for residential development in Larvik. The town is beautifully surrounded by the fjord and located between forest and mountains, and everywhere you feel the close relationship between town and nature. Nanset School, located in the residential area, close to the recreation area around Månejord, has been closed and housing and a playground for local children and young people will be built on the site.

Living facade

The buildings have a living facade. The tactile surface of the wood patinas beautifully, and the green garden spaces create an inviting setting for both privacy and community. The gables of the buildings, in combination with the angled facades, will add identity and unique spatial experiences for the residents. The villas interact with the garden space to create an expression that is unique to this site, tying the whole building together and creating a solid architectural expression.

 

Daylight and green areas

The housing units are grouped in large villas with three or four dwellings on each floor. Each villa is built on three floors and a total of 72 dwellings are being built. Unique to each villa is that all residences receive daylight from three sides and have a direct relationship with green garden rooms on several sides. The difference between exterior and interior is dissolved in the large light windows, so that the home is experienced as large and bright, and in connection with the green garden spaces.

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.
