Project description
The proposal breaks dramatically away from the standard «closed box» shopping centre formula to provide a real destination with positive, active experiences cantered around a dynamic meeting place.
The proposal is situated in the middle of the spectacular natural scenery of northern Norway. We have been inspired by this location and have brought elements of the landscape into the new building, the green roofs are a continuation of the surrounding hillsides, the white concrete reflects the coral sand from the nearby beach and the new lakes bring the essence of this location, the fjord, directly into the centre.
We have establish a sun-deck on the sloping roof, angled precisely to utilize the warmth of the evening sun, and making the square a pleasant spot to spend the evening. This sloping roof can be used as an amphitheatre for concerts and as an outdoor cinema in connection to the cinema within the centre. The project is situated in Tromsø, within the arctic circle, where for two months in the winter there is no daylight. In our proposal the outdoor areas are illuminated during winter with LED-lights in full-spectrum, sun-equivalent colours important for well-being during these dark months. Importantly, during summer, the embracing form of the building creates a sheltered area to maximise the warmth of the northern sun.
Vegetation is used to attenuate the northerly wind and the new waterfall will screen the outdoor seating area from traffic noise.

Location
Filipstad, Oslo, Norway
Project description
This proposal’s point of departure is Oslo’s character and scale: from the new Filipstad district older adjacent districts stretch out to the fjord with their identities and provide a “water neighbourhood” with a “water space” as the central spatial entity. The area’s six main divisions (each of about 80,000 – 90,000 m²) feature individual characteristics and represent development stages. The structure of the original landscape follows the main strike of the geologic layers in the fjord basin. From the water neighbourhood the landscape returns to the natural slope of the city behind it.
1) Business park. These “Headquarters” tie in with the Storebrand area and function as a solitary development in a park, with a monumental garden running down to a generous stretch of water.
2) “The Island Community” is on a flat dock and connects with the Tjuvholmen development.
3) “The brick town” stretches out towards the fjord between Hansteensgate and Parkveien.
4) The structure of “The Harbour Town” follows up the Framnæs/Hjortnæs district’s urban residences in a green context.
5) “The Terminal Area” and ferry docks with a maritime industrial atmosphere enhances the water neighbourhood with hotels, an aquatic amusement park, shops and offices.
6) “The Island Community 2″ is an island rich in greenery rising from the fjord basin, with artificial hills, large dock installations, water installations, artificial islets and an exceptional scaled-down building development following the edge of the quay and opening to a generously proportioned beach area on the southwest.
Toyota Showroom Hvam
Project details
Location
Oslo, Norway
Project description
The Toyota Showroom is located in Hvam north of Oslo on a site adjacent to the E6 highway that runs north via Oslo Gardermoen airport north to Trondheim.The concept is based around an organic roof form that works its way up from the lower ground level wrapping up over the upper ground and first floor to form an aerodynamic shape. This shape is then extruded to form the showroom enclosure with the car service bays located underneath. The dynamic roof form is clad in metal panels reflecting the car industry whilst glimmering in the sunlight providing an attraction for passersby.
The concept behind the scheme was to present a surprising picture of Toyota that was easily recognizable, a distinctive and memorable form to the hundreds and thousands of vehicles that pass the site each day. Set over three levels, the building is slightly set into the sloping site with the service and repair workshop located on the lower ground level with the car showroom located on the upper ground level, with offices and meeting rooms located on a mezzanine at second level.
The service and repair workshops open out at ground level providing a seamless transition into the terrain, while glazing at higher level provides natural daylight into the workshops. The public arrive at the southeastern corner of the site with and can choose to go direct to the workshops or continue on a ramped access that leads along the length of the building to the customer car park at the western end. Here a gentle ramp leads customers up into the elevated car showroom.
The west glazed gable facade presents a window to the E16 highway, whilst the east façade presents a window to the public as they enter the site. We have created simple and rational structure that is repeated through the length of the building that provides a economically effective structural solution.
The project is designed to be sustainable and is positioned on an east west axis, with double height glazed facades to the east and west gable ends of the extruded dynamic roof form. North and south facing glazing is kept to a minimum, whilst the roof is cantilevered out at the gables to shade from direct sunlight.

Project description
The configuration of the neighbouring blocks conveys typical local Bergen architecture at its finest. Would it be affably feasible to create a relevant and comprehensive city block construction that enhanced this distinctive character and thus boosted the identity of this building that hails from the Norwegian West Coast? The project allows for a juxtaposition of lesser building volumes of various heights with a vertical character that groups around atriums and terraces. The construction allows for a differentiated street scene and a wholeness characterised by vitality and surprises. Rather modest differences in height combined with a simple façade geometry comprise a solution that yields significant results for the variation of the building volumes. The constructive system is clean and is legible on the ground plan and façade: Column placements and girders with double supports in the middle section enable the floors to be built of 1.2-metre hollow-core concrete slabs. The interior has clear-cut communication routes, articulated buffer zones and quiet segregated work areas with no interference from through-traffic. Clearly defined lines of sight and walkways take you past varied room zones, terraces and rooms with two-storey ceilings. Daylight has been evenly and cleverly distributed. Effective, small-scale and congenial work surfaces run into one another and create cohesive room sequences.
