Feasibility study and preliminary project completed for adapting Nordhavn Station

Nordhavn Station, Accommodating urban development
Copenhagen, Denmark

Gottlieb Paludan Architects prepares Nordhavn Station for planned urban development. Nordhavn Station will become the primary link between Østerbro and the future Nordhavn. In this connection, the station is being renovated and extended.

Nordhavn Station is upgraded to accommodate new modes of transport. Focus is on creating a central transfer point with access to transport on three levels: S-trains on an embankment, buses and other vehicular transport at ground level and a subterranean Metro. The station is situated at one of the few locations with direct access between neighbouring Østerbro and Nordhavn. Thus, the station area will become a hub for infrastructure, logistics and urban life. There will be forecourts to the station on both sides of the railway line.

Arkitekturen sætter varige spor. Når vi arbejder med eksisterende bygninger, bærer vi et ansvar – for ressourcerne, for vores bygningskultur og for at skabe løsninger, der kan holde i mange år. Transformation handler om at bringe nyt liv til det bestående og finde nye funktioner til bygninger, der har udtjent deres oprindelige formål. Det kræver omtanke, faglig indsigt og et langsigtet blik på både klima, økonomi og samfundsmæssig værdi.

Cycling plays a vital role in the cities of tomorrow. It offers a smart response to urban congestion, pollution, and sedentary lifestyles — while strengthening mobility in both city centers and surrounding areas. A well-designed cycling environment makes it easy to choose the bike for everyday travel and connects key functions across the urban landscape.

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.

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.
