Architecture leaves a lasting mark. When we work with existing buildings, we take on a responsibility – for the resources, for our architectural heritage, and for creating solutions that stand the test of time. Transformation is about breathing new life into the built environment and identifying new purposes for structures that no longer meet current needs. It demands insight, care and a long-term perspective on climate, economy and social value.

Stengården Station
Bagsværd, Denmark
Gottlieb Paludan Architects headed the refurbishment of Stengården S-train Station, situated on the outskirts of Bagsværd northwest of Copenhagen.
Stengården Station is a typical S-train station with one platform and two platform tracks, serving the A and H S-train lines which connect Farum and Køge as well as Farum and Frederikssund.
This project was part of a comprehensive refurbishment programme for DSB S-train stations, entitled ‘The Station of the Future’. This refurbishment is undertaken to reduce the energy consumption and improve maintenance conditions.

A colour scheme consisting of red, black and granite grey are the basic colours of the design. They are recognizable as DSB colours, signalling the presence of the station. Seen from the forecourt and on the platform, the station is dominated by granite grey and black-painted surfaces. At the entrance, the red colour is introduced on a panelled wall.
In the stairwell leading to the platform, there are red panels on the walls from floor to ceiling. Architecturally, the red panelled walls constitute a contrast to the grey exterior of the station; in addition, from a maintenance point of view, the panels have the very useful property that graffiti is easily removed.
