New icons for a new city

A new modern city also needs new icons. Just as the Metro expresses our time through an automated system, the car parks in Ørestad will express the same identity, just on a more local level.
The transparent design of the facades provides a clear view of the cars and the fully automatic operation. A bright and light facade that can adapt to the different urban situations in which the car park will be located. At night, the car park will stand like a luminous lantern in the city. The most important thing is that there is transparency to the function and therefore also to the "icon". There is no signage, the P-house is signage in itself.

Creates coherence

The car parks in Ørestad fit into the new urban structure in an excellent way. The local roads are access roads to the car parks, and will act as a shortcut to the traffic structure of the city.
Their location, together with the Metro, will create a link between the urban districts and the local environment. As the Metro is the backbone of Ørestad's transport structure, the car parks will connect across the city district and link the local network.

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.
