Summary

New ways of water supply

HOFOR required a robust, adaptable waterworks facility that could supply softened water to Copenhagen and surrounding areas, enhancing household appliance longevity and environmental benefits. PLH designed a waterworks that will endure time in harmony with the surrounding landscape.

Insights, teamwork and ambitions forming the waterworks

In designing the Gevninge Waterworks, insights gained from earlier projects, such as the waterworks at Søndersø and Thorsbro, were key. These, along with a truly great collaboration with the entire team, formed the design, adaptable structure, and high functional standards, making the Gevninge project a model for future facilities.

Designing for future water supply

Gevninge Waterworks integrates a sleek, industrial aesthetic, featuring curved, aluminium-clad façades inspired by water’s surface tension. A transparent main façade invites viewers to witness the water treatment process, while its modular design allows for future expansions. The softened water produced at the facility reduces scale buildup, supporting both HOFOR’s goals and Copenhagen’s commitment to resilient infrastructure.
