Overview

Gilleje Sø- og Havbad is a combination of renovation and new construction, for which KHR Architecture has made concept and design proposals. The client's wish is for the old town hall in Gilleleje from 1939 to be the setting for a beautiful spa and conference hotel with almost 40 rooms, a restaurant wellness area and a sun terrace with an outdoor pool. Both the renovation and new build proposals are designed with respect for the existing architecture and the ambition is to create an atmospheric lake and sea spa that combines the old spirit with modern wellness and comfort.

Dormer windows with a view to Sweden

On the first floor, attics have been added, which fit in well with the existing architecture and provide a beautiful sea view for the lodgers. On a clear day you can see all the way to Kullen in Sweden.

Transformation and new construction in close dialogue with the client

The old town hall and culture house provide the setting for the Sea and Seaside Pool's rooms and a delicious restaurant with sea views and outdoor seating on the south-facing sun terrace. In front of the main building, an indoor spa area with outdoor pool and rooftop sun deck is dug out.

The entire project was designed in close dialogue with the client, who already runs Gilleleje Badehotel.

"By renovating the fine old buildings, the new Sø- og Havbad retains the old soul, which the developer greatly appreciates, and gets a more sustainable profile."

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.
