Unique building with green facade

DCPT appears as a unique building clad with a varying green facade and sedum roof, which helps to give the massive concrete volume a friendly and welcoming expression. The scale is dispersed by shifts in the volume and the penetration of light in the green planting - especially at the main entrance.

The competition project includes the design and construction of the Danish Centre for Particle Therapy

The approximately 8,000 m² centre is the only one of its kind in Denmark and offers highly specialised cancer treatment to cancer patients from all over the country. The DCPT is equipped with a proton accelerator, three treatment rooms, research facilities and facilities for patients, relatives and clinical staff and is part of Aarhus University Hospital in Skejby.

"While the DCPT functions as its own entity, the building's transition to the existing AUH is expressed through the north facade's brick cladding and aluminum transom windows, from which the center is directly connected to the rest of the AUH."

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.
