KILDEDAL – TIMEGLASSET, RAILWAY UNDERPASS

"Timeglasset" (The Hourglass) is a striking and cohesive underpass in Kildedal, creating a simple architectural landmark in the landscape. The underpass ensures a safe and direct connection for pedestrians and cyclists across the railroad embankment, and is designed with curved wing walls and a curved ceiling that create an open and clear space.

The project connects central parts of the upcoming Kildedal Town Park with the park's southern areas and integration into the park’s stormwater management. A continuous water feature runs beneath the tracks, where the path is carried on an embankment through the watercourse.

"Timeglasset" is part of an integrated infrastructure and urban space project that, with a focus on light and spaciousness, connects neighborhoods, recreational paths, and green corridors across the railroad.
