Hvidovre Hospital, designed by KHR and inaugurated in 1976, is a striking example of welfare state hospital architecture. Even back then, the project worked with several of the principles we associate with healing architecture today - including access to green courtyards, clear wayfinding and a human scale. To mark the hospital's 50th anniversary, Hvidovre Hospital interviewed KHR architect Mikkel Beedholm about the building's architecture, the ideals behind it and what still makes the hospital relevant today. Read the full interview on the hospital's website.

Mikkel Beedholm represented KHR at the opening of the large new main building at the Lehrte-Süd School Centre last week. The project was designed by KHR in collaboration with the architectural practice Mosaik and is being realised through a public-private partnership between HOCHTIEF and the town of Lehrte. The new school centre brings together a comprehensive school and a secondary school, catering for a total of around 1,800 pupils. The main building was completed on schedule and constructed whilst the school was in full operation – something the mayor highlighted as a particular achievement.
In Tibirke, we have designed a summerhouse that draws inspiration from the landscape and the local building traditions, interpreted through a contemporary architectural approach with a focus on light, materials, craftsmanship and life within the house. Bo Bedre has now dedicated a major feature to the house and the story behind it. You can also read more about the project here on our website – or get in touch with Mikkel Beedholm, the architect behind the project.
