Langeskov Station / 2015

At Gottlieb Paludan Architects I have taken part in the design of a new Langeskov Station. It is located on the TEN (Trans-European Network) line between Nyborg and Odense in Denmark, and it reopened in a new location in 2015. The project therefore includes construction of all the elements that make a modern station, including new side platforms, lifts, various fixtures and fittings, noise barriers, forecourts and parking facilities for cars and bicycles.

A key aspect of the project is local integration with the environment of Langeskov, which is a small town with 4.000 inhabitants. The network of paths will intertwine organically with parking facilities, platforms and the surrounding town, accommodating the flow of people going about their business and connecting the project visually. Besides there is a light strategy to ensure that people can not only find their way around the area but also feel safe and relaxed in the environment. The platforms will be connected by a new tunnel which will also serve as a new route to that part of the town for pedestrians and cyclists. Thus, the project improves connections between Langeskov and “the outside world” and within Langeskov itself between different areas of the town.

New bus bays will be provided, improving interconnections between bus and train services, and bicycle parking facilities will be positioned in the most appropriate locations logistically, resulting in several small bicycle parking zones that will blend in naturally with the landscape around the station.
