Hotellet er bygget i to faser. Første byggetrinn på 17.000m² og 300 hotellrom sto ferdig i 2010, mens andre byggetrinn legger til ca 8700m² og 214 nye rom. Den senere utvidelsen var planlagt ved første byggetrinn slik at utvidelsen oppleves som en sømløs videreføring. Som et effektivt flyplasshotell har viktige kriterier i tillegg til estetikk vært funksjonalitet, driftsøkonomi, lydproblematikk og miljø, energibruk og materialvalg.

Prosjektbeskrivelse
Konferansehotellet ligger i ett vakker landskap. Landskapet er ytterligere formgitt av NIELSTORP+ arkitekter. Landskapet terrasserer seg ned fra hotellets hage, gjennom restaurant og foaje til hovedinngangen. Vannet følger landskapet, fra eksteriør til interiør, og samles i det store vannspeilet ute ved hovedinngangen. Organiske former og planter danner grønne oaser i interiøret, lek med trespiler i store kokonger, bølgende benker og skjermende vegger gir et rikt spill av varmt tre og lys og skygge. Taket med overlys som spenner over restauranten gir rikelig med dagslys ned i restauranten og sammen med de store glassfasadene åpner de opp rommet mot landskapet.
Hotellresepsjon med back-office ligger synlig plassert i foajeområdet. Skranken har fått ett ekspressivt formuttrykk med fasetterte flater i ask-finer, samme formutrykk gjentas i lobbybar, her utført med mørk sortbeiset ask.
Serveringstorget for restauranten ligger skjermet bak en trespilevegg. Overflatene i serveringstorget er lyse og lette, ask og hvit marmor. Møblering i restaurant har soner med langbord, små kafebord og runde 6-8 grupper i kokongene. Dette gir en fleksibilitet for gjestene, og variasjon for frokost, lunsj og middag servering. Materialer og farger er holdt i et lett og lyst “nordisk” uttrykk, tett på natur. Ask og eik, lyst treverk i møbler med innslag av grønn beis, sorte understell på bord og tekstiler fra grønt til rødlige toner.
Lobbybaren har et mørkere og lunere uttrykk med sortbeiset ask, tekstil polstret vegger i sittenisje og mørkeblå vegger. Lobbybaren fungere både som frokostbar og kveldsbar og har store glassflater ut til terrassen og landskapet.

Prosjektbeskrivelse
Oslofjord Convention Center er med sine 130.000m² et av Nord Europas største kurs- og konferansesentra. I tillegg til møterom, konferansesaler og multifunksjonsrom i alle størrelser består komplekset også av hotell og utleieleiligheter med 9000 sengeplasser og en flerbrukshall (med bl.a. klatrevegg, ishockeybane og hallområder for allidrett).
Å utforme et prosjekt i denne skalaen med et så allsidig program er en kompleks øvelse. Målsettingen har vært å skape en spennende og dynamisk destinasjon med et helhetlig, samlende grep som er inkluderende for alle aktiviteter og deltakere.
Stikkord har vært dynamiske bygg, med en tydelig arkitektur, som «reiser» seg opp av jorden og strekker seg opp og frem. Mellom husene etableres gode, parkmessige uteområder som sammen med kommunikasjonsårer binder sammen komplekset i en organisering som en egen landsby.

Project description
China Eastern Airlines is one of the world’s major airlines and wanted their new headquarters located at Hongqiao airport in Shanghai to reflect that. The new complex, including interior public areas and surrounding parklands, are designed by NIELSTORP+ architects while the engineering is done by ARUP and construction drawings by local architectural firm ECADI.
The complex totaling approximately 245.000m² has a varied program containing:
- Office workplace for 12.000 employees.
- Hotel with approx. 400 rooms.
- Operation centre for monitoring and preparation of the flights,
- Operation centre as a terminal for the crew, where they prepare for the flights.
- Training centre.
The square-shaped site is defined by the terminal pier and surrounding office buildings. The site is transformed into a green oasis suited for people by establishing a parkland, with clusters of trees as the outer boundary. Within this square-shaped boundary, we placed the China Eastern Airline village, a series of connected buildings with an amorphous and undulating outline.
An dynamic shaped park emerges as a result of the space between this square outer boundary and the undulating outline of the CEA village.
The CEA village consists of horse shoe shaped buildings organized around the central atrium, with “streets” and bridges between them. Just like an ordinary village with a central plaza, roads and lanes. The atriums constitute the hearth and the central «living rooms» of the company, where people meet and ideas made.
The atrium is split in two by the main road. The major internal communication routes circles around – and connects the two parts of this atrium – via bridges. The wings of the buildings spread out in the form of a star. This gives short and efficient communication routes.
Most villages have a monumental building placed in the midst of the plaza. The CEA village will have one tower in each of the two atriums that complements each other and holds the village together visually. The towers contain meeting centers. The north tower has a corporate management club on the top floors.
To bring light, air and sight-lines into the village the mass of the buildings slopes into the centre.

Project description
Located in Bergen close to the central rail station, the new 365 bed hotel is conceived as a lofty and prominent landmark on one of the main entrance roads into the city centre.
Influenced by the planning regulations which stipulate differing maximum building heights across the site, the building plays on this and acts as a mediator between the heights of the various surrounding buildings addressing the ‘towering’ neighbour to the south and stepping down to address the large elongated multi-storey car park to the east and the remaining traditional five and six storey buildings which characterise this area of Bergen.
The southern block with its high facade is articulated with a play on the vertical tension from floor to floor, and this contrasts with horizontal emphasis and layering of the facades to the side wings which are lower in height.
The materials are simple and consistent. The main cladding is to be a sheet material that can be bowed and shaped in such a way that relatively deep facade reliefs can be achieved whilst minimising the flashings and edge reveals.
The main cladding is to be white, reflecting a typical renovated Bergen Facade. At night the white faced panels will pick up colour from the internal lighting contributing a contrast of colour compared to the clean white of the facade during the day.

Phase 1: 16 000m², 300 beds, 1 500m² conference.
Opened autumn 2010
Phase 2: extra 150 beds.
The 300-room hotel is situated on a demanding lot just a “slipper distance” from the airport terminal building and next to the office and service building “Flyporten”. To grace the rooms with the best views possible and disassociate the hotel from the hard edges of the neighbouring structures, the hotel was designed with two identical wings of rooms consisting of straight and curved wall surfaces that combine to form a courtyard. This basic shape also initiates the distinctive course of the hotel corridors. The strong hues in the courtyard between the wings of rooms emphasise that the stringent colour and materials codes of the terminal area do not apply here. An indoor walk leads from the reception toward the restaurant and conference centre on the basement floor. Plans have been made for a second stage of construction at the site with another 150 rooms. The building has prefabricated glass façades. A few of the rooms have bays, providing individual variations.

The 290 bedroom hotel is located on the exposed site where the Tromsø Bridge and the Arctic Cathedral are prominent elements that sit nicely within the typical North Norwegian distinctive landscape.
The Arctic Cathedral (by Jan Inge Hovig) is of great relevance and we have looked to strike a dialogue between the cathedral and the new hotel. In so doing, we have carefully pulled the head of the hotel back to create a loud and clear signal building that will become prominent in the city. Along with its structure, the new hotel will have some of the same characteristics as the cathedral, it will be clean, simple, with light conceivable forms and characteristic sharp lines.
The hotel will stand boldly against the quay front, tapering down towards the city behind. The hotel will consist of an entrance foyer, reception and restaurant at ground and first floor, with conference facilities in a lower ground floor including auditoria, and ten floors of guest rooms.
The main form is composed of separate wings with a building structure and skin that vary in height and are juxtaposed at angles, creating a series of break points where the change in direction provides openings into lounges on the upper floors and wings of interior corridors giving access to the guest rooms.
At ground level the quay and waterfront is pulled right into the building, with the foyer stepped with terraces allowing the water level to be viewed from all parts of the reception and public interior.

Project description
The project comprises a hotel, artist’s apartments, office and with a mixture of workshops and bars and eateries in a bazaar-like structure at the lower street level along the main Aker River running through the heart of Oslo.
The building aims to negotiate a transition through steep terrain between the main road, “the floor of the town”, and the planned cultural square in and around the old industrial buildings along the riverside.
The compact hotel accommodates 130 rooms, a bar and 100 seats restaurant with views to the river.
The commercial floors are intended to serve as local offices and studios.
The lower level spaces are intended for use as workshops for local artists and various eateries and bars with the tables of a large café/restaurant spilling out onto the square to form a focal point at lower street level.
There are also programmed apartments, duplex and studios in the 4 floors of the smaller block-like structures
The primary challenge was to create a mediator for the existing dominant 1940s blocks at upper ground level and the attractive brick and steel industrial riverside buildings from the turn of the 1890s without extinguishing either. The hotel starts roadside at it’s highest point, and steps gradually downwards toward the river in a controlled manner that offers greater views and light to the existing buildings than the regulated site lines would have allowed without affecting the maximum area.
The project forms a dramatic ending to the long façade of the existing 40´s blocks at upper street level creating a portal to the cultural square.
The building’s gentle curving motion envelopes and gives a stable backdrop to both the existing buildings and the programmed cultural square.
The structure is primarily steel with concrete slabs, clad with cement fibre board cladding and render.
The roof of the overbuilt area between the existing 1940s blocks and the new scheme forms an attractive communal garden. At the northern end a planted terracing opens the restaurant and reception to the communal garden.

Project description
The hotel is designed as an iconic building. It will be placed in what today is a green lung with a view towards the fjord. The hotel is situated between the terminal and the railroad, with the bus stop and traffi c right in front of the hotel. The view from the traffi c area towards the fjord is kept by lifting the room wing
with a 5 meter free view under it. The ground floor is designed as a detached wing-shaped building that contains conference, reception, lobby, bar and restaurant.
The roof lies as a slight floating wing above the floor and sticks out to make a sunshade and baldachin. Along the south facade, it gives shelter for the
pedestrians on their way to – or passing the hotel. The lifted arrival area will mark itself clearly in the airport area, and it will be easy to find. The interior volumes
for closed functions like kitchen and conference, make their mark inside the glass wall, they penetrate the glass facade in north and west. The two main shapes are
here joined by a heavy vertical foundation with elevator and staircase. To obtain a light expression, glass is the main material in the facades, as glass panels.
Towards the west the hotel room wing has a long, straight facade with horizontal windows and elements that underlines the long, fl oating facade. The hotel corridors
are open towards the surroundings in each end. The elevator lobbies on each floor have a nice view to the terminal and the air traffic.
