KHR Architects has completed a project of a new town hall building for employees and citizens of Hillerød. As the name bear, the main objective of this building design is to create intimacy abd identity among the town citizens. Located on Trollesminde, the new Hillerød’s town hall will be a vibrant building for politics, staff and, not least, citizens, with an emphasis on themes such as enlightenment, culture and involvement.

The overall idea of the project is to create a building that takes its architectural starting-point in the specific identity of the venue. The main building looks out over the cultural landscape and becomes a benchmark together with village churches and the large farms that characterize the area. Visually, the City Council building is created as a landmark for the town hall and is visible from the moment of arrival. In this way it becomes a remarkable symbol of the democratic process for everyone in the new municipality.

The tree trunk braces are a fantastic touch to a building that would have looked a tad modernistic.
