Copenhagen Metro

The six underground stations designed by Scott Brownrigg’s transport team are part of a thirteen station line, serving the centre of Copenhagen.  The team provided full architectural services for the underground stations and separate ventilation and escape structures.

The underground station entrance designs were reviewed and design work developed on a site by site basis, to suit the townscape and technical requirements. All designs used simple geometric forms and a limited palette of high quality materials.

Above ground structures use glass predominantly to minimise the impact in the city squares and parks in which they are situated. Station interiors were developed in the form of an atrium, which enables daylight to penetrate from street level down to the platforms, via pyramidal skylights.  The escalator circulation risies to a sub-surface ticketing concourse which includes cycle storage.
