Overview

The design of the metro was ahead of its time. The design idea was ready at KHR architects in 1994, but it was not until 2000 that a suitable light source was developed.Working with the supplier, KHR integrated the light into the clock, so the idea of the crisp bead-row illumination of the clock's aluminium surface was realised. An example of the value of forward thinking in dialogue with technological developments.

"Metrouret is an example of how good cooperation is crucial. In this case, the design idea only became reality when we found the right technical solution together with a supplier. "

The basic philosophy is that all the design elements of the stations are part of the whole and not individual statements

With its minimalist clean expression, the watch has become so simple that it signals precision in both form and content. The case and dial are made of aluminium. The dial is illuminated by luminous foil bands along the inside of the cylinder.

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.

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.
