This tower which was built as a silo in the 50's and has become a residential tower looks great, and the architects has taken good care of the older facade and inside construction. The tower looks nice from outside, and looks very briliant inside. 7/10

At first I was going to give it a 3, but then I realised it was built in the 50's.

6.0/10 :yes:

7.5/10 The student-apartments looks awesome! I would like to have one there!

Nice building indeed ... 8/10

i like this one 7/10

Thanks Christian for making a poll on this outstanding cool building. The pictures here really don't do it justice. The location along the Aker river, by a basketball-ground, the history of the area, and the fact that it is 10 minutes walk from my home, makes me give it a 9

9/10

It does look kinda cool and all although its too broad but you dont often see such interesting looking hostels.

unique. 7.5

The layout is neat. 6/10

interesting, and short. 5/10

Interesting tube-like composition but there are perhaps too many of them, making the building seem a bit wide and bulky. Quite original though.

I like re-using of buildings. In Amsterdam we have also an old silo building wich is transformed into a residential building also about 50 meters high.
But this Oslo tower is according to me exiting to me because of its roundly shaped rooms.
The coulored plates on the facade of the building is the only part i don't like about it.

Certainly very interesting. I like the tubes and think overall the building isn't too bad.
