Overview

Lyngby City Hall is the focal point for an entire region's traders. KHR won an architectural competition in 2013, organised by Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, with the aim of bringing together more activities at the existing city hall by adding a new building of 5,000 sqm. The winning project proposal had to reinforce the existing urbanity, but was unfortunately never realised for various reasons.

Inspired by the art of

The town hall is in need of modernisation, both to make room for more and for contemporary interaction between municipal employees and citizens. The project proposal therefore aims for a considerate adaptation that visually and functionally leaves a contemporary democratisation of the building that inspires greater degrees of openness, both inside and outside the building.

The porous structure of the project as an extended green building membrane is inspired by the many degrees of speed at which the context is experienced today.

Social and cultural development

Lyngby Town Hall is part of our cultural heritage as a national modernist work. The building has been given a special status that refers to the surrounding context. An icon of social and cultural development.

Against this background, the project proposal from KHR's architects for the Lyngby City Hall project is based on the idea that the building should be preserved in its current form, but that the identity should be sharpened through the project.

Flyverbyen - byplan- og bygherrerådgivning

KHR Architecture har som byplankonsulent for Sweco stået for udviklingen af et tidligere industriområde på 80.000 m² tæt på Københavns lufthavn. Nu skal det transformeres til en levende bydel med aktiviteter, kultur og erhverv. Projektet omfatter både transformation af 10 eksisterende bygninger og mulighed for opførelse af op til 24.000 m² nybyggeri. Kommunen har i april 2025 godkendt lokalplanen, hvilket åbner for en bred vifte af erhverv, kreative værksteder og fritidsaktiviteter. Vores byplanarbejde har sikret en sammenhængende udvikling med fokus på fleksibilitet, bæredygtighed og områdets unikke karakter – fra de første visioner til endelig politisk vedtagelse.

Sundsvallbroen

Sundsvallsbroen er et resultat af vores vinderforslag i en arkitektkonkurrence og efterfølgende arbejde som arkitektrådgiver på projektet. Broen er blevet en markant men harmonisk tilføjelse til Sundsvall, der forbinder byens centrum med de omkringliggende landskaber på en måde, som respekterer og indrammer omgivelserne. Med en samlet længde på over 2 kilometer og en frihøjde på cirka 33 meter skaber broen et nyt urbant rum, hvor bugten, byens silhuet og de omgivende bakker mødes i et sammenhængende og dynamisk hele. Trods sin imponerende størrelse smelter broen sammen med omgivelserne og bliver et naturligt led i byens struktur.

Strong collaboration and important milestone in North German school construction project

At the topping-out ceremony for the new Lehrte-Süd school centre, the city mayor and others praised the good cooperation and the fact that the project is on time and on budget. The 100 million euro project is being realised in a public-private partnership and brings together an integrated comprehensive school and secondary school under one roof. The first stage will be completed in 2026 and will provide schooling for 1,800 students.

Wayfinding in Copenhagen car parks

How do you find your car in a grey concrete world? In collaboration with By & Havn, KHR has developed a wayfinding concept that makes it easier to find your way in a number of Copenhagen's car parks where it was previously difficult to find your way. The concept creates clarity and recognisability across the facilities - while adapting to the architecture and usage patterns of each car park. With simple tools such as colours, pictograms and mega-graphics, both function and aesthetics are supported in everyday life for thousands of users.

Wayfinding in the car park of 'Bjerget'

KHR Architecture has developed a wayfinding strategy for a number of By & Havn's car parks in Copenhagen with a focus on recognisability and user-friendliness. The concept makes it easy to find your way - no matter which car park you arrive at. In the Bjerget car park, however, a special version has been developed that respects the building's distinctive architecture and visual identity. The existing colour palette and typography have been retained and refreshed, while the wayfinding has been updated with new pictograms, floor markings and clear landmarks. The result is a system that is both site-specific and recognisable across the city.

Wayfinding at Nuuk school

At Nuuk School, wayfinding is an integral part of the architecture and user experience. Students, teachers and visitors must be able to easily find their way around the many buildings and functions - not through heavy signage systems, but through a visual and sensory strategy based on Greenland's rich nature, colour codes and playful symbolism. The result is a recognisable and logical environment that supports learning and well-being.
