Efficient traffic hub inspired by the harbour environment

Sluseholmen Station
Copenhagen, Denmark

Gottlieb Paludan Architects developed and designed the five underground metro stations on the Sydhavn line. The latest knowledge about behaviour and technology has been incorporated into the station design.

Sluseholmen Station is located in the heart of one of Copenhagen's most architecturally unique residential areas, where canals and bridge neighbourhoods create a special atmosphere. The station's design is inspired by the area's balance between urban environments and the surrounding nature.

Areas of Expertise
The station's location in a watery area has placed high technical demands on the construction, including advanced waterproofing solutions and drainage systems to ensure operational reliability. Wide access routes and integrated escalators make the station easily accessible, while large skylights and open spaces ensure that daylight reaches all the way down to the platform. The white brick louvres reflect light and support a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The station's artwork emphasises the importance of water in the city's history and present, creating a strong connection to the area's maritime identity.
Sluseholmen Station functions both as an efficient traffic hub and as an aesthetic tribute to the unique harbour environment.
