Tromsø is a city with a completely unique character, where the main street is characterized by many charming wooden houses. The intimate scale of old Tromsø is an important attraction that gives the city a varied and attractive environment between these small-scale buildings. Skaret hotel, with its 150 apartments, is designed as a composition of smaller volumes with a scale and colors similar to the old houses. The external form of the building thus reinforces and emphasizes the qualities of the existing, unique cityscape. The hotel is strategically located between the straight Storgata and the lively, curved Strandgata which follows the old sea front. The facade design reflects this by being more formal and linear towards Storgata, while at the same time it is angled and broken towards Strandgata to follow the arches. The windows have variations in height, with changes in tempo between two and three floors, to create a scale that resembles the facades of the older buildings in the area. The color palette consists of earth tones and pure white, which are typical of the traditional urban buildings in the area. At street level, the hotel has both a restaurant and a bar, so that the new quarter also invites popular activity and involvement outside the building

Project description
The proposal breaks dramatically away from the standard «closed box» shopping center formula to provide a real destination with positive, active experiences centered 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 established 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 amphitheater 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 colors important for well-being during these dark months. Importantly, during summer, the embracing form of the building creates a sheltered area to maximize 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.

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 geological layers in the fjord basin. From the water neighborhood 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 Harbor 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 neighborhood 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 What
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 above 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 on the second level.
The service and repair workshops open out at ground level providing a seamless transition into the terrain, while glazing at a higher level provides natural daylight into the workshops. The public arrive at the southeastern corner of the site with and can choose to go directly 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 a simple and rational structure that is repeated throughout the length of the building that provides an 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.
