Flintholm Station
Copenhagen, Denmark

When the Copenhagen Metro opened in 2002, Flintholm Station became a majortransport hub linking the Metro with two S-train lines. Gottlieb Paludan Architects designed the new Flintholm Station as a key transport link.

The forecourt also serves as a bus terminal. The station platforms are located on two levels crossing each other. The upper level steel bridges are resting on embankments and are connected to the lower level by open stairways and lifts.

The large glass roof features a focal design element, dispersing indirect light across the platforms and the entire station area. The nearby trees are enveloped in the lit-up space, helping to create a sense of context and security around the large transport terminal. The overall appearance of the station area is transparent, light and open.

Passengers change trains between the three lines under an expansive glass roof covering 5,000 square metres, supported by steel columns. This distinctive roof is a local landmark in the surrounding long stretch of greenery that is the nearby Grøndalsparken.

Lighting is an indispensable part of our daily lives. It shapes the environments in which we live and work, and has a significant impact on our well-being. When the lighting is right, it supports our activities, creates a sense of security, and enhances the visual experience of the spaces we inhabit. This is why it is crucial that lighting design is planned with care and insight to support both function and aesthetics in our spaces and buildings.

Everyone should be able to move through our shared public spaces and buildings in a safe and dignified way. In complex environments such as stations, terminals, and other public transport hubs, universal design is not just a feature – it’s a fundamental design principle that ensures equal access and high functionality for all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.
