Overview

The new swimming pool will take its shape from its surroundings, inviting the surrounding green spaces in and at the same time acting as an extension of existing sports halls in the area.

An integrated sports centre

With its openness under the large roof, the swimming pool forms a light and elegant transition between the green wedge and the more urban environment around the sports halls. Through its design, the swimming pool can be experienced as a covering of the green outdoor space.

The link with the existing sports halls is ensured by a single-storey building that ties the whole complex together and makes the swimming pool an integral part of the cultural and sports centre that the sports halls and swimming pool form together.

Between landscape and townscape

The new swimming pool in Ringsted is located in the transition between new and old town and between landscape and urban landscape. Through this unique location, the intention is to let the green element dominate and place the bathing experience - both seen from inside and seen from outside.

From the outside, you will be able to see all the way through the building towards the green spaces. From inside, the grass, trees and sky will be part of the bathing experience. The large uniquely shaped roof is twisted to face all the surroundings of the swimming pool.

"The swimming pool has a sculptural form that takes shape partly from its surroundings and partly from the functions housed under the roof."

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.
