Overview

Under the name Wattenmeer Station Sylt, KHR developed an institute for tidal flat research on the North German island of Sild. The new building body with its clearly visible, elongated silhouette fits into the character of the Wadden Sea landscape with long, horizontal lines against a background of mighty dunes.

Successfully linking the existing and the new

Wattenmeer Station Sylt is an extension of the current research facilities, which originally date from the 1920s. Functionally, the new building links the Wattenmeer station's scattered buildings into a whole. This has been done by building over the existing bunker used as part of the research facilities.

New setting for social and exhibition activities with a magnificent view

The project is an extension of the current research facilities, which originally date from the 1920s. The interior of the new building appears as two storeys, housing laboratory and office functions. A bright panoptic space is created between the poles. In addition to visually and physically forming vertical and horizontal connections, the panoptic space provides a setting for social and exhibition activities with a magnificent view over the dunes and waters of the Wadden Sea landscape.

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.
