About Orientkaj and Nordhavn Metro Stations
Orientkaj and Nordhavn Metro Stations were designed by Kobe, Arup, as part of the Nordhavn metro line extension. This extension of the Nordhavn metro line connects the port with the center of Copenhagen. The construction of these metro stations has opened up opportunities for the redevelopment of Copenhagen North Dockland, one of the largest urban redevelopment projects in Northern Europe.

Orientkaj and Nordhavn Metro Stations have different visual styles that represent the urban areas they serve. On the ground floor, Orientaz Station draws inspiration from container ships and reflects the port’s industrial history. However, the station’s interior has been designed with a focus on passenger comfort and humane design. Nordhavn underground station, on the other hand, draws inspiration from the architecture of the Sitringen metro line. It features the distinctive red tape at other transfer stations along the route. © Rasmus Hjortshøj – COAST
Orientkaz station above ground is a model for upcoming stations in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn district. The Kobe-designed district is a urban area with sustainable and mixed-use facilities, with an area of ??over 1,500,000 square meters.” The goal is to house 40,000 people and create jobs for another 40,000.
