At architecture school, it wasn't the shape of the building that interested Elisabeth Jeppesen. It was all the stuff around the architecture. Experience from the early project stages is Elisabeth's strongest card in her job as head of KHR Byplan, which offers urban planning consultancy, project development and management of processes with authorities. In this interview, she shares her insights and motivation for project development at eye level in a world full of demands and opportunities.

The meeting was based on a number of concrete cases and typical pitfalls.
How do you reconcile legal requirements, contextual considerations and commercial desires when developing a new project?

Gartnerhaven is a new, green residential area where KHR Architecture is now designing 18,000 m² of housing for Core Bolig X based on an approved local plan. The project includes a total of 192 apartments and 32 townhouses in three different building typologies. Elisabeth Jeppesen, responsible for urban planning, has been involved from the very beginning in the development of the masterplan for the area, which has previously been used for agriculture and horticulture. The nursery garden consists of four building plots, which makes it possible to preserve a generous green common area that will benefit both the future residents and the rest of the neighbourhood.
KHR welcomes urban planning expert Elisabeth Jeppesen, who will advise and assist private developers and municipalities with zoning and the early stages of project development.
