Overview

Malmö Central Station is one of three stations connecting the City Tunnel in Malmö. The Malmö City Tunnel not only strengthens public transport in Malmö, but also creates better transport connections in the entire Øresund region. When the new rail link opens in 2010, travellers will experience greater flexibility in the form of more stations, fewer changes and shorter journey times.

KHR architects is design manager and consultant on the two major stations Malmö Lower and Triangeln, which are constructed differently.

Malmø Nedre is built as a cut and cover station, where the station room is excavated from above and then closed with a top cover. The station is designed as one common station room with access to the two platforms at each end of the station. Triangles on the other hand, is built as a so-called mine station with a central platform excavated underground, so that the station is experienced as a tube, as we know it from the metro in Paris and London.

Three stations connected via the City Tunnel

The line will start in a new station called Malmö Nedre with four tracks and two platforms, which will be built underground as an extension of Malmö Central Station. From Malmö Nedre the train runs through a tunnel to Triangle Station, which is being built 25 metres below ground in central Malmö.

Then the line goes south until Holma. From there it continues in an open trench to the new station Hyllie. From Hyllie, the line splits in two - one line goes west and connects to the Øresundstoget, while the other line goes to Ystad and Trelleborg, where the Kontinentalbanen runs.

"In the design of the stations, the emphasis has been on creating a light and manageable space underground, which is experienced as safe and secure by travellers. To create a simple and coherent architectural expression, station equipment, signage and lighting are integrated into the design. The simple, clear stations with a good passenger flow make it easy to find your way and get around - even during rush hour."

The Glass Blocks II - Haukeland Children's Hospital

Glasblokkene is a paediatric and youth hospital in Bergen, 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. 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.

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.

EIFO - space planning

Space planning takes on a special significance when a new organisation is created. In connection with the merger of three organisations into one, KHR Architecture helped EIFO with the design of a new headquarters of 10,600 sqm spread over four floors in Orienthuset in Nordhavnen, where 450 employees are now based. The task was solved using an evidence-based approach with questionnaires and user surveys as the basis for the chosen concept and the specific interior design. The space planning work, including the organisation of EU tenders, was carried out as part of a broader tenant consultancy by EIFO.
