The control room is the central nerve of technical facilities – the place from which everything from energy production and distribution to traffic and complex industrial processes is monitored and managed. A well-designed control room provides clarity, supports quick decision-making, and contributes to safe and stable operations – even under pressure.

Copenhagen, Denmark
The framework for monitoring the new S-train signaling system is in place, with ideal working conditions for operators A new signaling system for the Copenhagen S-train is currently being installed. Siemens is supplying everything from the signaling system itself to the furniture in the new control room, from which Banedanmark controls the S-train and DSB handles passenger information.
Gottlieb Paludan Architects has developed desks, storage furniture and cladding for the video wall installed in the control room in the Traffic Tower, built near Dybbølsbro in Copenhagen.
The starting point for the layout and development of the furniture is the users' physical, ergonomic and psychological working conditions, which have been carefully studied.

Optimal solutions for control rooms
All aspects of the use of the desks have been scrutinized: space for users, visibility around monitors and large screens, cabling in the desks, the furniture's contribution to room acoustics, etc.
The shape and appearance of the furniture matches the building and the room, creating an overall impression of high quality and a beneficial visual calm that supports the processes taking place in the control room.
The starting point for the planning and development of furniture is the users' physical, ergonomic and psychological working conditions, which have been carefully studied.
