The renowned Norwegian bureau Snøhetta has probably drawn the most spectacular building in OperaKvarteret so far. It will be tall and narrow and the surface realized half in glass, half in dense elements. Its form was inspired by a calving glacier and it was initially referred to as "the Glacier."
Snøhetta started to work on the building in 2007. The building lot measures 16 959 square meters above street level. This building will be between the KLP Building and the Station Common and will provide services associated with the station, probably including restaurants, on its lowest floors.
Maximum utilization
The strong characteristics of the building has made way for unseen technical solutions and has been described as a geometric system of volumes based on penetrating strips of empty space. This feature has been integrated into the decoration of the interior of the building.
Spectacular view
The sloping roof is defined through form and variation and makes a kind of urban scenery in combination with the Station Commons. The users and visitors of the terraces will experience something special when they see the hillsides encircling Oslo, the fjord and the other buildings of the Barcode strip simultaneously.
