Køge North Station is a completed project by COBE and Dissing + Weitling for Køge Municipality DSB Project Development and Banedanmark in 2014. It is located in Køge Denmark in a railway setting. Its scale is large with a surface of 32.000 sqm. Key materials are metal and wood. Luxigon collaborated as visualizer. Concepts such as transport network viewpoint and section are explored.
Køge North Station will not only be a traffic hub for the entire Copenhagen region connecting high-speed trains, local trains and the busiest motorway in Denmark – the Køge Bay Motorway, but also a distinctive landmark in the area. The project consists of a 225 meter long pedestrian bridge, a new train station and an associated park and ride facility. The north side of the bridge provides a stunning 180 degrees panoramic view over the landscape and traffic lines. Padded with wooden lamellae, the inside of the bridge becomes a warm and welcoming area, while the outside has a more rough expression with perforated steel plates matching the materials of the surrounding infrastructural system.
