“Framtid” (Future) will be the next extension to the Fram Museum, dedicated to polar exploration and environmental education. The result of an invited architectural competition, our proposal will propel the museum towards the future with a simple idea: that architecture exemplifies how we care for our environment.
The new high quality housing project in Askeveien will offer innovative apartments, sheltered in a green and lush surroundings in Skøyen, Oslo. The residential building will band together with the adjacent historical landscape and built environment in an attractive and humble manner. Through the conscious use of qualitative and locationoriented architecture, the project will reinforce and develop the inherent identity of the site.The pitched-roof housing complex consists of 15 apartments with generous openings and private balconies or terraces. The play of the roof geometry allows the penthouse apartments generous ceiling heights and sheltered roof terraces. Villa Ask is wrapped in hand-basin long-shaped tiles giving the project a unique language.
A listed, regional modernist, low office building at Frogner, Oslo is re-purposed onto a residential building with nine apartments in varying sizes, spanning from 77 to 196 m2. The original project was built in 1973, designed by architects Trond Eliassen and Birger Lambertz-Nilssen, they were awarded the “Sundt” prize for architecture due to “Munthes gate”-complex’s outstanding quality. The building is now listed as propper representative for architecture of its period. The transformation strives to preserve this particular character, while giving the building a new life.
The aim of the project is to rehabilitate an existing villa, and integrate two new, small single family houses on the site. The two new houses reflect the character of the villa by their modern gabled roof. With a similar expression the two adjust to the situation with a focus on view and light. All the houses obtain a private garden within a bigger shared outer room. The main floor has an open character where kitchen, living and dining area are all in one big room. Some large steps down to the garden gives the room a close connection to the outside, and also an alternative place to stay. The open character allows a continuous window strip of various heights, giving the big room several different atmospheres. Throughout the houses the exposed wooden structure in the ceiling becomes an important part of the architectural language. Visible also from the outside, the wooden structure is cladded with vertical Baubuche laminated beech wood.
The urban development and transformation of Bjørvika, starting with the Snøhetta Opera, forms an entire new neighborhood in Oslo. The brownfield site along the former harbor basin south of the central station rail tracks, where the Akerselva river meets the fjord, is reclaimed – making the shorefront once again available to the public.
The B1 plot of the Bjørvika masterplan sits along the eponymous promontory Paulsenkaia, named after wholesaler H.A.H. Paulsen, and is part of a stretch of land that includes the new Munch museum at the outermost tip of land.
An international architectural competition for the museum was won by (now) estudio Herreros and included the adjacent plots B4 and B1. LPO arkitekter was in charge of the proceeding zoning plan.
Bygdøynesveien 15 (BNV15) has been developed to become a comprehensive facility that combines new buildings within a historic facility in an attractive and innovative way. Through a conscious use of a site-specific and high-quality architecture, the project gathers, reinforces and develops the place’s inherent identity.
The new facility offers forward-looking apartments. The meeting between a new residential environment and the worthy buildings from the early 1900s, as well as park and garden highlights the many qualities of our client’s ambition without compromising the site’s exclusive character.
A-lab has designed a new residential building in Oslo. The housing project is now one of the candidates for the Oslo City Architecture award 2018.With a view over the Oslo fjord, very good light conditions and public transportation nearby, this plot was ready for more. Sæter Terrasse, situated in Nordstrand Oslo, aims to be an answer to Oslo’s need for urban density near communication hubs outside the inner-city areas.
The Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway, has commissioned a new art piece. Designed by Snøhetta and created in partnership with collaborators Hydro and Vestre, the “peace bench”, entitled The Best Weapon, will be first unveiled at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on Nelson Mandela Day, July 18th. The installation will remain at the Headquarters’ plaza through September, when the plan is to transfer it to Oslo and a permanent location near the Nobel Peace Center and the Oslo City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually.
In the outskirts of Oslo you will find this two-story modern house dug into a natural ridge, overlooking the Oslofjord. It is a response to the ongoing densification process in the city’s residential areas with mainly small-scale housing. Normally, new buildings obstruct the views and interfere with the established surroundings. This causes many conflicts, and therefore less successful sub-urban developments.
In order to preserve the views and privacy from the next-door neighbours, the roof height is kept at a minimum level, giving the impression of an adjacent garden wall, rather than a full scale building next door. Outdoor areas such as terraces and balconies are carefully placed to maximize privacy between the properties. The footprint shows a relatively small house placed along the property border, showing a different building pattern compared with what is normal in the area.
The new high quality housing project will offer innovative urban apartments that will contribute to densify Oslo. It’slocated in a residential area with buildings from the eighteen century. The housing complex consists of three blocksof increasing height from four to six stories. The two smaller blocks towards the north have the same footprint and aprinciple of four apartments per floor. The southernmost building has a more complex arrangements of six to eightapartments per floor with a range of sizes. The lower floors has multiple smaller units, while larger apartments are placed in the upper floors.
