Workspace
Fredrikstad

Surface: 330 m²
Status: Completed

The warm wooden furniture of the office contrasts with the metallic framework of the roof and the concrete floor. The offices stand in wooden rooms, providing privacy but also dividing the open space into different areas. For flexibility of use and comfort, you’ll find redundant areas with different gradients of privacy in the office: large, open meeting room, large, enclosed meeting room, smaller open social places, closed phone call room.

A large amount of library and shelves for books runs along the walls under horizontal windows and the archive shelves rise from the floor to height point of the roof in one of the many wooden boxes of the office.

Fire Station
Oslo

Surface:  2 000 m²
Status: Unbuilt

The Sentrum Brannstasjon in Oslo lies on Bjørvika, not far from the Akershus fortress, from which the design is inspired from. It is a public building interacting with a historical position in the city. As part of the urban landscape, the parks surrounding the station are public, and offers to admire the fire trucks on display in the double height ground floor.

Materials and colours are both inspired by the historical buildings nearby, as a way to extend the architectural legacy of the past, while also integrating the technologies and needs of our modern society. The wooden structure is one of the many environmentally friendly solutions of the project, as a beacon of sustainable architecture visible by all right in the hearth of Oslo city centre.

Upstairs, a more private floor for offices, rest rooms and meeting rooms use wooden screens for modular privacy in the floor plan. Windows all around the building offers a privileged view on the Oslofjord, the park, the Opera house and other surrounding buildings.
