Residential architecture must create a good environment for life

Residential architecture with ambition

Our best foundation for good residential architecture is a close dialogue with the client, a solid understanding of the site and a clear focus on the future users. 

Vi skitserer, renoverer, projekterer og rådgiver om både almene og private boliger, og vi sætter en ære i at udfordre os selv og vores bygherre, så vi får forløst boligprojektets fulde potentiale. 

Building ambitious homes doesn't have to be expensive, but it does require thinking.

Et godt greb er at give byggeriet en enkel identitetsskabende signatur til glæde for både beboerne og bybilledet.

The city, the settlement, the home - together we create the good society

Det sted vi bor er afgørende for, hvem vi møder, og hvor vores liv udspiller sig både socialt og professionelt. Hvis vi vil skabe sammenhængskraft i vores byer og samfund, skal vi have fokus på diversiteten i de lokale miljøer, og her spiller boligbyggeriet og dens arkitektur en væsentlig rolle.  

Hos KHR Architecture har vi derfor ikke kun fokus på at skabe den gode bolig isoleret set, men på byrummet, bebyggelsen og boligen. Det hele starter med en analyse af den konkrete situation og det konkrete behov, så vi får en plan, der binder de tre niveauer sammen.

We are passionate about creating better cities through housing projectsthat create synergies across generations, economic means and household size. That's why we're happy to discuss your project ideas with you.

Durable aesthetics and good functionality ensure long-lasting homes

Durable housing in function and aesthetics

Der findes ingen formel på at skabe den gode bolig, men uanset om vi tegner boligbyggeri til unge, singler, familier, seniorer eller personer med særlige behov, så skal arkitekturen være fremsynet. 

Good architecture has an inherent robustness to meet changing needs and is made of materials that will last in the given climate and context of use. Otherwise, cheap construction can quickly become costly both environmentally and financially, when operation and maintenance are taken into account.

Again, good solutions are not necessarily expensive, but they need to be well thought out, and that's where our strength as architects lies. 

Across housing types, we emphasise good lighting conditions and natural materials that help create a comfortable indoor climate and give the building a sustainable profile

Byplan - få hjælp helt fra starten

Har I ideer til en boligbebyggelse eller et mixed-use projekt, men mangler hjælp til at få kommunen med på ideen? Så kontakt vores byplan-konsulenter, der tilbyder idéudvikling på baggrund af en stærk planfaglig indsigt.

Byplanarbejdet er komplekst, så det kan være en fordel at få en byplankonsulent til at hjælpe med at tolke de lovmæssige rammer og bindinger, som området er pålagt, og projektet skal forholde sig til. I vores erfaring kan kompetent byplanarbejde være afgørende for, om projektet i det hele taget bliver en realitet, og et grundigt forarbejde mindsker risikoen for dyre omveje senere i projektet. Contact Elisabeth Jeppesen for en uforpligtende samtale.

Housing typology KHR Architecture
Housing typology with a focus on community - KHR Architecture

A new townhouse typology with a focus on community and sustainability

KHR Architecture has in a number of projects explored the possibilities of creating innovative and well-functioning townhouse developments. By exploding the typology of what a typical townhouse is, a higher building ratio is achieved while maintaining a high quality of light, air and spaciousness. The starting point for the architectural approach is to create a housing development where social interaction is a key feature. A hybrid of the communal recreation of the block with the private of the detached house with its own garden and terrace is added to the dense, sustainable typology of the townhouse in a modern densified urban context.

Med stor indlevelse i beboernes hverdag tilgodeses behov for en balance mellem privatliv og naboskab. Den innovative nye boligtypologi blander det bedste fra rækkehuse, lejligheder og villahuse og er bare ét eksempel på, hvordan vi hos KHR Architecture skaber fornyelse med afsæt i det konkrete projekt.
