DnB Bygg A
Oslo - Oslo

DnB Bygg B is the main building of the three DnB buildings in the Barcode project. Its designed by MVRDV (http://www.mvrdv.nl/) and Dark Arkitekter AS (http://www.darkarkitekter.no/) and will be 67m tall
with 17 floors.

The project aims to create synergy and identity for the firm translating social and democratic culture into the design and making the space an
enviable working facility. MVRDV's building is conceived as a steel ‘rack’ which permits adaptation to the flexible nature of the organisation. The
steel rack is wrapped in a stone skin, which adopts Norwegian environmental standards. It appears as a rock, a strong shape within the
boundaries of the Barcode. The niches of this rock provide space for vegetation growth: the positioning of the pixels creates roof gardens or
outside areas for every floor.

Additional facilities include a panoramic 140 seat canteen on the top level, an executive lounge with a view over the fjord, a board room, in the
heart of the volume, DnB NOR’s trading room with 250 work stations, and the main entrance with a reception and access to the concourse. These
collective elements are connected by a staggered continuous internal route of terraces, encouraging informal meetings and communication between
employees and a series of wooden stairs and bridges allows travel between levels.

Hm, don't say anything about been approved by the city council, just that the developers have signed a deal with the buyers/ future owners of the building, which is SR Bank, and that was announced in 2005. Most likely it will be approved and built as there is no opposition against building it. It sais that they hope to have the site ready for construction start in 3rd quarter of 2008. I guess it gave been goven approval, but no final approval yet.

Horisont is a 15 story tall residential tower rising in the eastern side of Trondheim, better known as Valentinlyst. This area is already densly built with six, 12 story tall residential buildings, surrounded by large residential districts and a shopping mall.

Horisont is going to be built on the roof of the shopping mall (Valentinlyst Senter) in Valentinlyst, next to the six high-rises complex. The 47m tall tower started construction in February 2006, but heavy opposition halted the project in March 2006, when the Chief Administrative officer of Sør-Trønderlag declined the approval. After the developers had reproposed the building it was finally approved again on August 31st 2006, and construction of the tower was continued on September 1.

The danish architect Hans Petter Madsø and his architect firm Sivilarkitektene AS is behind the building which was first presented to the public in april 2002. The proposal was later presented and treated by the construction council. They wanted furter development in this project, with less apartments and better facilities in the out-door area around the shopping mall and the tower. In august 2003 construction council manipulated the proposal, but did not promote the proposal, but wanted more development. In september 2004 the proposal was yet another time treated by the construction council, and was approved. The project was finally approved by the city council in december 2004.

Construction webcamera: Camera 1 (http://operawebcam.snoball.no/image.jpg), Camera 2 (http://operawebcam.snoball.no/image2.jpg)

Snøhetta’s winning design has been characterized by the jury as: "a poetic and concrete response to a demanding assignment… The design takes from the city and gives back to the city; it directs, but is nevertheless subservient and puts people and the magic and power of the Opera House at the centre of the place. It creates an unexpected dynamic both externally and internally to the benefit of lovers of opera and ballet, the city of Oslo and the international community."

A sloping roof surface has been designed that rises directly from beneath the fjord. It is designed with fractures, stairs, the stage roof surfaces and the stage towers as defining features to the vast platform that can be traversed from the sea to the uppermost levels by the visitor. Together with the vertical movement, the diagonal lines create a convincing composition that, at the same time, is humble, adapted to the scale of the city, distinctive and unique in the city landscape. It forms an extension of the landscape surrounding the city and is not clearly distinguishable as either building or ground.

Hm, don't say anything about been approved by the city council, just that the developers have signed a deal with the buyers/ future owners of the building, which is SR Bank, and that was announced in 2005. Most likely it will be approved and built as there is no opposition against building it. It sais that they hope to have the site ready for construction start in 3rd quarter of 2008. I guess it gave been goven approval, but no final approval yet.

Compared to Oslo, in Stavanger it isnt frontpage news every time a tall building is being approved.

Construction update from Horisont, Trondheim. Taken by me on January 13th, 2007.
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5592/horisont1smallxu3.jpg

Some updates:

The 20 story tall proposed hotel tower in Trondheim is considered never built as they redesigned the project to a much lower and hotel complex.

Arctic Tower is a newly proposed building in the city of Alta, Finnmark. With 15 stories with apartments, offices and retail this will be Alta's and Finnmark county's first high-rise building if built.

http://www.hegnar.no/images/news/alta_signalbygg_442.jpg

Why they don't build higher in Oslo? There are 2 higher scrapers now, but the proposed scrapers have the same height as the 'skyscrapers' in my town (40m-70), with only 60.000 inhabitants. Oslo must look fóóórwards! :banana:

Few, on this forum, would disagree with you.

High-rise development in Oslo is, however, hampered by several significant reasons:

-The general conservatism of the people, opposing high rises specifically or modern architecture in general.
-The topography of Oslo; Inner city is located in valley surrounded by suburban hills to the north and a fjord to the south. It is a common conception that high rises will inevitably obstruct the view from the surrounding the hills.
-Most of the construction of today and of that which is projected for the future will take place along the shore in areas previously occupied by industrial port activities. Most of these are not suited for highrises, having the sea in front of them and the traditional low-rise city behind.

Local investor Oddvar Røysli, the man behind the high-rise hotel plans in Drammen (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=stromsohoteltower-drammen-norway) wants to invest 1 billion kroners in development of the town center. He already owns the shopping center.
In a related article he claims that he is still working with the Drammen plans, and the planning is still progressing.

The new plans include a hotel with 20 floors and 160 rooms, a indoor swimming pool and 160 new apartments.

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n125/kjetilbalog/SCC/honefoss.jpg

The hotel is drawn by the same firm as drew the hotel in Drammen.

^ Wow, thats some massive and impressive planns for such a small city as Hønefoss!

This whole post has been moved to the Oslo development thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=127197&page=21)

the height for visma will be 64m. I read it of a DNBNor Markets brochure. They bought the building and they are now trying to get people to invest, if anybody is interested.
This means that the tallest building in barcode probably will go ahead.:banana:
It was reported on another thread that groud work seems to have started.

wonderful projects!

Kind of an update photo I stumbled upon showing the status on a part of the Hinna Park-area.

Thats good, 64m is a good height, though i would not mind if it was 130m! Btw, on DNB's homepage it sais Visma will be 67m tall (link (https://www.dnbnor.no/markets/nyheter/060222_bjorvika.html)).

@ IceCheese, good find, looks like Hinna Brygge A is completed, or mostly completed now!

Edit: IceCheese, are you sure that image is from January 31st? If you look at the photo you see the trees are very green (and so is the grass), at least way more green than they should be in late January! And Hinna Brygge B has exactly as many floors as in the images from august/september 2006! ;)

Hmmm... Hard to say, actually... I mostly just guest that that would be the date, since the URL was web3.aftenbladet.no/multimedia/archive/00155/cci-Aft-20070131-1-_155980i.jpg

Edit: After very thoroughly searching the pictures, I lay back on my feet (or something). I was decieved by Stavanger Aftenblad! But as a reestablishment for my reputation, I give you this photo-update of Fjordspeilet. At least here we can be sure of the date!

Yeah, I would be negative too. This is aggressive looking project.

So typical. Squares, right angles and just generally looking angry. When will developers understand that their highrises will keep on getting shot down as long as they're not made graceful and elegant?

^ Yes, looks horrible actually, redesign is nescessary if i would approve these!

that glass is looking pretty good!

There are many plans for new hotels in the west-coast town of Kristiansund. Among the proposals are a Marriot Airport hotel, and a 14 stories tall hotel right next to the concert Hall.

A 44m, 13 story tall high-rise is been proposed in a new cultural center complex in Hamar. This is originally a 3-4 year old plan, but was newly promoted by Hamar City Council. They say a maximum height on the high-rise will be around 12-13 floors.

Got only blueprint renderings so far, ill try to search up better photos.

Do you know what the purpose of this building will be? Commercial/residential? My initial guess is the government as they're usually the only ones allowed to build high-rise in bergen :nuts:

WOW!!! One of the best looking highrises I have seen for a loong time. If they build this one, I have to move to Stavanger :lol: Is it approved?

yeah, it looks fantastic, although it needs a city around it :)

Yes it is. But its still only a proposal, and i still kinda doubt they will ever built that one sadly. :(

Yes it is. But its still only a proposal, and i still kinda doubt they will ever built that one sadly. :(

Lets hope you are wrong on this one. Stavanger have a great potential for many highrises. Its an international city with growing population, its pretty flat, a lot of money in the city etc etc.

Actually, Stavanger/Sandnes/Sola -area in my mind have the greatest Big City potential in Norway. Forus, located in the middle of this urban area, should be developed as the new citycenter, with streets and avenues like Manhatten :) I say, lets move the capital from Oslo to Stavanger in 2030..:speech:

Oh.. I probably should stop day-dreaming :|

Once again, Stavanger Aftenblad is the only media to contribute to the survival of this thread. Today this picture made it to the headlines:

http://web3.aftenbladet.no/multimedia/archive/00184/cci-Aft-20070921-1-_184377i.jpg

The two left ones, known as Hinna brygge, will be finished and moved in this fall. The two right ones, known as Fjordspeilet, will be finished next fall. The area as a whole, Jåttåvågen (which includes new stadium, new trainlines, and thousands of homes and workplaces), will get finished step by step from now and until 2018.

Amazing - one could dive in from his window sill:)

Wow! Looks awesome!

High-rise proposal cancelled

After some massive opposition the developers of "Sirkeltomten" in Nedre Elvehavn, Trondheim have cancelled the propose 17 story tall high-rise. The proposal was published last year, and met some heavy opposition. A 6 story tall residential complex will be built there instead.

http://www.adressa.no/multimedia/archive/00950/Sirkeltomta_950213b.jpg

The proposed high-rise building, from Kristin Jarmund Arkitekter was replaced by this by the local Trondheim firm, Per Knudsen Arkitektkontor. The complex is going to contain some 40 apartments and 12 000sqm of offices, a training center and retail area.

bad news:(

Politicians wants high-rise

Despite heavy opposition against the propoed 15 story high-rise building in Varatun, Sandnes it looks like its going to be approved pretty soon. The final decission will be taken on November 13th, but as of now most politicians is agreed and positive to approve the new residential building.

Despite heavy opposition against the propoed 15 story high-rise building in Varatun, Sandnes it looks like its going to be approved pretty soon. The final decission will be taken on November 13th, but as of now most politicians is agreed and positive to approve the new residential building.

What?! Stavanger-NIMBYs are amongst the weakest I know!

Even maybe a bit too weak as i doesn't see any nice with the proposed high-rise! Well, lets hope to see some better renderings where it turnes out to be much better than what those rendering show!

I agree. As they are now, there is nothing appealing about them. They just look like some mushrooms, or whatever. Something you just want to pluck off the ground.

Short: New hotel in Forus, Stavanger. 18-floors. May be built before 2011.

Link (http://web3.aftenbladet.no/lokalt/article539313.ece)

WOW, I would say "one of the most futuristic proposals in S&B cities"

Wohow, thats just insanely amazing, it just have to get built! :eek:

Btw, i will try to update the main page this week-end as it looks completly horrible right now as there are many updates.

this project is stunning!

Looks very good! Together with the proposed SR-highrise and maybe WTC, we could have a nice cluster in Forus in just a few years. The Stavanger-region is "the new shit" in Norway..!:banana:

From article:
Daglig leder i SE arkitekter, Gaute Stray Jensen, sier bygget hører hjemme i fremtidens Forus.

- Vi forholder oss til Forus slik det ser ut om fem og ti år. Da er SR-banks nybygg på plass. I tillegg vurderer Seabroker et World Trade Center. Med slike omgivelser blir dette bygget en lillebror, sier han.

Hotel issues in Stavanger can be svolved

Local newspapers in Stavanger and Rogaland county writes that the poor hotel space in Stavanger can be svolved, as there are two large hotels been proposed there. The first one is the newly proposed 18 story tall hotel, as you see above. The other one was already know over a year ago, but there has been few images ever published, but i found a few, so here they are.

The hotel known as Stavanger Kulturhotel will be 80m tall with 25 floors. It will have 250 rooms, and located next to the approved cultural center near the harbour.

Byplansjef roser banktårnet

- Kjempespennende. Jeg er forbundet med å være skeptisk til høyhus. Det stemmer. Men dette grepet med et signalbygg langs kollektivaksen på Forus er godt, sier byplansjef Jan A. Bekkeheien om SR-Banks 24 etasjer høye «Føniks». Han synes Brandsberg-Dahls tegninger er flotte og håper bygget lar seg realisere på tomta ved golfbanen.

Høyhus får dispensasjon fra Avinor
Det vakte forvirring og uro da det på forsommeren ble klart at SR-Banks planlagte kontortårn på Forus er i strid med luftfartsmyndighetenes høydebegrensninger.

Planleggingen av det 100 meter høye bygget var kommet langt. Planen var i tråd med gjeldende reguleringsplan, men reguleringsplanen hadde aldri vært på høring hos Avinor.

Det hele løste seg med en dispensasjon så seint som 28. august.

- Vi måtte kjøre en grundig risikoanalyse. Bygget blir høyere enn høydebegrensningene, men det ligger på en linje mellom Skadbergåsen og Jåttånuten. Det vil derfor ikke skape et ekstra hinder og utgjør ikke noe problem for flytrafikken, sier eiendoms- og utbyggingssjef Morten Wathne ved Avinors kontor på Stavanger lufthavn. Luftfartstilsynet sluttet seg til vurderingen.

Bygget vil rage 106 meter over havet, mens Skadbergåsen er 102 og Jåttånuten 138 moh. Bygget må utstyres med hinderlys.

Wathne sier at det bare er å beklage at problemstillingen ikke ble avklart da reguleringsplanen ble laget for noen år siden, men mener forklaringen kan ligge i at Avinor den gangen var under omorganisering.

^^ Oh, this is good news! This highrise is my favourite proposed project in Norway at the moment. Stavanger AND NORWAY really really.. really needs this building!

Sandnes high-rise approved!

Despite heavy opposition against the propoed 15 story high-rise building in Varatun, Sandnes the Sandnes city council approved the the proposal of three towers on 11 floord, 13 floors and 15 floors. City council's 33 votes gave the approval against 13 votes again the proejct. Høyre, Frp, KrF, Sp and Pp was for the project, and KRF's Harald Solbakken compared the project with Stavanger's tallest building, Rica Forum Hotel.

http://web3.aftenbladet.no/multimedia/archive/00189/Hoyhus_jpg_189212i.jpg

They look horrible. Let's hope they won't end up looking like this when completed.

I dont think we have covered the latest renders for Strømsgodset`s new football-arena + hotel. I put them here since the hotel is a highrise ;)

They plan to finnish the construction in august 2009. I like both the stadium and the higrise, lets hope this will happen:banana:

Hmmm... the design of highrise is realy Ok !
What is it´s floor count ?

I think they plan it to be around 15 stories tall.

There have been quite a few different renders of the new stadium in Drammen, so I'm a little confused about which one is the newest... Looks very good btw.

More news: Scandinavian Proberty wants to build a mall and a 18-story hotel in Haugesund, close to the planed football stadium.

Yeah, make it sexy:)

I am deeply impressed by Aftenposten today. They have managed to write a posivtiv article about a norwegian high-rise. This is nothing less than a sensation! The article is about the reconstructed silo in Namsos.

Wow, this is impressive!! First of all, because they have wtirren a positive article a about high-rise building! Secondly, wow, why, how do Aftenposten actually write a article about a high-rise in Namsos as Aftenposten is a very Oslo-based newspaper! Why not mention Sinsen Siloen, or Grünerløkka Studenthus instead as Sjøsiden in Namsos isn't that impressive (exept that its situated in a small city)!

Two pics i've taken of this high-rise building, took me a decade to find them!

As this is possible in Namsos, i sure hope its possible for Levanger where they have similar planns for reconstructing a silo there into a 14 stories tall high-rise building, but hopefully with a bit more unique design and archtecture!

The Aftenposten Aften (evening newspaper) is the Oslo local paper. The morning edition is just as VG and Dagbladet, only a bit more serious.

Developing a new 10 mrd. city on an island

This is a projects which has been going on for a few years. A mayor development plan in the small city of Straume in Fjell Kommune outside Bergen is closing a final decission. Local developer LieGruppen togather with LinkSignatur Arkitekter has made some good renderings, showing a small city with cultural buildings, parks, apartments, hotels (a high-rise building), retail and office areas and a harbour. Entire project is estimated to cost some 10 billion NOK and will increase Straume's population from today's 10 000 to 17 000! With 3 000 apartments (5 000 - 7 000 inhabitants), 100 000sqm of offices and retail, enough to cover 2000 workers.

A high-rise hotel and a cultural center is proposed next to the fjord, where they want to build a harbour with express boats to Bergen and other villages in the Bergen region. The developers also propose a tram linking with the center of Straume! Interested in more, check this PDF-file (http://www.kystby.no/sitefiles/1/design/Visjonsprospektillustrert.pdf) (in Norwegian). Its the original plan from 2005, before these latest renderings was made.

Straume Sentrum and Strame Brygge

Bildøy is not the only project in Straume, developers have the planns ready for a huge development plan for Strame sentrum and a new project with 250 apartments in Strame Brygge. Looking at the renderings we have a 13 story tall hotel and congress center planned at Straume Brygge, and some odd observation tower proposed in Straume sentrum!

The city council has already approved it all, both the new city in Bildøy and a total renovation of Straume Sentrum, construction will start here between 2009 and 2012.

Wow! :drool:

http://www.kystby.no/sitefiles/site1/imagegallery/-pimggallery_qlidsy.jpg

Wow, this is great project! Far to rarely we see development at this scale in Norway. It's just the classic coincidencial "klatteutbygging". This project is exceptional in comparison. The only other similar project going on is Fornebu and maybe the Fjordby, but this points out with the scale (and probably the time spand?) as it will practicly double the population of this continous urban area/tettsted.
I really hope that they can manage to make this project as complete as it seems now. Other projects that combine everything from communications to housing etc. fails at some point to get it all as the plans lay out. It's probably unnecessary to mention the Fornebu-project and their Monorail-failure.

Even though I can see some high-rises, I think this project as a whole should be in the Norway | Projects and Construction-thread. Or it could have a thread of it's own.

Thats something we'll do when some real renderings is up. Each single project can be divided up in different threads, but we still have to wait some 1-2 years before we see detailed planns for each building.

...Namsos....LOL, after seeing this, I remember a post/thread you wrote a long long time ago. The title was something like "Little Namsos to get a skyscraper". :D

Ah, time.:ohno: Probably the largest NIMBY-sympathizer we've got. Notice I updated my post, btw!

^ yeah

mlm: you're right, i guess i made such a thread some 3-4 years ago! Maybe not a skyscraper, but it was the first construction with more than 8 floors in the whole the county, so here people believe Namsos got twise as large with that high-rise!

Snøhetta with a proposal to Barcode in Oslo (close to the Opera), a 16 story tall high-rise building! This will become KLP Eiendoms new headquarter if approved and built.

Ooooh, looks fine. I hope it will be built

13 floors + 5 floors in Bodø?
Bodø's only high-rise building, Radisson SAS is currently 13 floors tall, but the owner wants it taller, and propose to add 5 more floors making it 18 floors tall.

http://multimedia.api.no/www.an.no/dynamic/01296/sas_6_1296692m.jpg


Just some news from Bodø. I don't know much about it yet, but im afraid they are going to add 5 floors, and nothing more. If so im against the planns, Radisson SAS Bodø looks like shit today, and will just be a shame for all the high-rises in Norway if they add 5 floors with the same design!

Ground construction of Lervig Brygge in Stavanger is in a good progress, the plan has already been approved, and the first construction phase will start soon. Entire complex of 970 apartments, enough to room 6000 people will be done by 2017. Four high-rise building (12, 14, 16 and 18 floors) will face the fjord. Several architects is involved in this project, and i will post renderings of the high-rises as soon as they have anyone out.

I seem to have missed an important note regarding that high-rise project in Hokksund which few ever heard about! Was proposed earlier this year as some may know, but was finally rejected in the city council in June this year.

It was a 16 floor tall mix-used building with offices, residentials, a shopping mall and a conferance center. Project by CODE Arkitekter, with Eiker Eiendomsutvikling AS as developer.

Btw, a vision high-rise project, very new one actually! Some futuristic center for tourism, with museums, hotels etc. and the place to continue the trip up on Folgefonna Glacier! The idea is that tourism is been transported up here by helicopters down at the fjord, so there is no need for a road to destroy the surrounding nature.

BTW, Folgefonna is a protected national-park, and building along the glacier will NEVER happen! But if any project should happen at Folgefonna, this should be it!

Something like this will of course never be built, but its really awesome to see ideas like this, because it would be cool if it actually got built!

I found the vision at MIR Visuals AS (http://www.mir-visuals.com/)'s site, but there is really nothing more said there then what i mentioned here. So it was just a vision they 3D visualized as to sell as a little product for their firm which is doing really good internationally.

LOL, that mountain project reminds me of a rendering I saw on a website today. The towers on that website looks much coolor though. ;)

Check it out (http://gnomonology.com/) (the rendering on the front page).

Thanks! :okay: As you say, this will never be built, but Norway needs more bold thinking like this. Tourists and people in general will ask for more extreme adventures in the future. This kind of visions may be one of the winner solutions in the tourist market in the years ahead.

>> Stavanger Kulturhotell
Arkitektkonkurranse om Sandvigå
Det blir trolig lyst ut arkitektkonkurranse for bygging av hotell i Sandvigå. Forslag til ny reguleringsplan vil foreligge om tre måneder.

Byplansjef Anne S. Skare sier at arbeidet med reguleringsplanen starter nå i august. Hun regner med at arbeidet vil være ferdig i månedsskiftet oktober - november. - Vi har et godt utgangspunkt, med et godt grunnlagsmateriale ifra mulighetsstudien som er utarbeidet, sier Skare. Så legges forslaget ut på høring i seks uker. Dersom det ikke kommer sterke innsigelser mot forslaget, kan det gå til politisk behandling ut på nyåret. Saken kommer til å få sin endelige avgjørelse i bystyret. Skare sier at det ikke er avgjort hvilken form en eventuell konkurranse vil få.

Før bystyret kan vedta noe som helst må også Stavanger kommune ha ervervet tomten. Den eies i dag av havnevesenet. - Vi vet at det er behov for flere hoteller i Stavanger, og det er fullt mulig å utlyse en konkurranse når forslaget til reguleringsplan foreligger, sier hun.

This is interesting, because there are three proposals here.

Proposal 1) 80m/25 floors
Proposal 2) 7 floors in four buildings
Proposal 3) 30 floors (400 rooms)

So we might see a very tall high-rise next to the cultural center in Stavanger. But don't expect it to be approved even though its in Stavanger. They have met heavy opposition, and the politicians, even the developers them self favour Proposal 2, so i am really afraid they are going to choose the most terrible proposal!

Local investor Olav Mæle wants to build a 30 story/94 metres tall building in downtown Drammen on a plot currently occupied by Globusgården - a round shaped building from the 60's, often referred to as the ugliest building in town.
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n125/kjetilbalog/SCC/bilde.jpg

Most likely the tower would be a hotel, and Mæle wants a rotating restaurant on top.

However, there are no concrete plans as of yet, and the political community is somewhat reserved to the idea.

More here (http://dt.no/article/20071222/NYHET/804885052/1099/NYHET) and here (http://dt.no/article/20071223/NYHET/248495010/1099/NYHET)

Hehe... The ultimate would be to use the old building as the rotating restaurant on the top.:)

Latest Skyscraper-news from Stavanger

Ground construction of Lervig Brygge in Stavanger is in a good progress, the plan has already been approved, and the first construction phase will start soon. Entire complex of 970 apartments, enough to room 6000 people will be done by 2017. Four high-rise building (12, 14, 16 and 18 floors) will face the fjord.

http://www.kap.no/Prosjekter/planlegging/LER-02.jpg

Aftenbladet posted this 3D-rendering of the Lervig Brygge area today, giving a better idea of how the area will look like. In another story however, also from today, it says that politicians are positive about high-rises in this area, but that they want additional architect-competitions for the towers.

http://web3.aftenbladet.no/multimedia/archive/00206/Aft-20080130-1-B-4-_206480i.jpg

An architectural competition for the high-rises is a good idea if they chose my favorite (!), as what posted in the rendering didn't look too promising! But hope they stay positive to high-rises. This area is closer to downtown areas, and has their own nimbys.

The middle size town of Skien (about 50 000 residents) has 2 high-rise proposals, one 14 floors hotel in the centre: http://multimedia.api.no/www.ta.no/dynamic/01483/08D_dsdom_1483873m.jpg
Even after getting approved by the city council it faces difficulties, its now up to the enviromentalministry to reject an appeal by the culturalprotectorothorities(riksantikvaren) because it's in conflict with the church and the original structural plan for the town.

Outside the centre, in Borgestad næringspark, a 16 floor office building is planned and its according to the townplans to have a high-rise here and i don't think it will be a problem for it to get approval :)

Its good news that it finally got approved, but this Ibsenhuset high-rise project has been going on for a long time, from a dead project several times, so close approvals.

But its not really deceided yet, politicians with FRP/AP goes for the 14 floor tall one, while H wants the 12 floor proposal.

Btw, a interesting article about the Skien high-rise: «Motstander» ble tilhenger (http://www.varden.no/article/20080203/KULTUR/912258566/1102/_)

The high-rise as seen from the few renderings we have today, could use a fresh-up to fit Skien much more though, but i hope they will present some finer renderings soon. :)

"Det 190 meter höga Turning Torso kan om sex år förlora titeln som Nordens högsta hus.

Norske byggherren och finansmannen Arthur Buchardt har planer på att bygga ett ännu högre hus i Oslo via sitt bolag Öyer Invest.

Det skriver nyhetsbrevet Fastighetsvärlden på tisdagen.
– Det ska bli 200 meter och invigas den 17 maj 2014, vilket är 200-årsjubileet för när den norska grundlagen antogs. "

I would love that!! But i don't dare to believe it....

I would love that!! But i don't dare to believe it....
I think it's up to the politicians in Oslo if it'll be built or not. Buchardt has got the cash. Just look at the Hotel in Kista that probably will be built.

Well the politicians in todays norwegian newspapers have been negative!

Really? Why? :ohno:

"200 meter er langt høyere enn hva det er gitt politiske signaler om hva en kan akseptere i Oslo, sier Dagny Gärtner Hovig, informasjonssjef i Oslo plan og bygning til Dagbladet.no."

And Buchardt doesn't seem to want to stand by his statement made in Sweden.

This isn't good signals, but maybe things will change when Buchardt comes with a nice render. ;)

And Buchardt doesn't seem to want to stand by his statement made in Sweden.
Well, that's not very surprising. He probably wants to wait with his official announcement.

I have strong doubts about this. Buchardt is famous for skyscraper proposals with now reality contact.. Maybe 100-150 m, but never 200.

This sounds like some serious BS! Maybe in some great city, but Oslo? I have no doubts about the profits, since it would be competely booked 24/7. Still absolutly no plots in Oslo exists for this, and if one did exists, it wouldn't be passed if every city council-member in Oslo were payed a million each. Some of the surrounding municipals are a bit more likely, but... This is just dreaming. Imagination. Won't happen until we all are dead.

We will just have to wait and see. At least he gets a lot of publicity, i'm afraid that maybe that's all he want. If it's for real, i'm very excited to see it. How "green" can a tower that tall be? Also interesting to see where he wants it build!

Critics to new proposed twin towers in Bergen

In Norwegian:
Arkitekt og storbyveteran Todd Saunders fikk latterkrampe over «twin towers» i Sandviken.

- Det virker som alle prøver å bli som New York, men dette prosjektet har ingenting med virkeligheten å gjøre, sier arkitekt Todd Sauders om Lerøys planer om høyhus i Sandviken . Saunders har bodd i Norge i ti år, og at valget falt på Bergen var ikke tilfeldig.

- Bergen er unik nettopp fordi man ikke prøver å bli identisk med USA, sier han.

- Et slikt bygg har enorme skygger som må tegnes inn.

- Dette bygge vil komme midt i sjøhusrekken og ødelegge sjøutsikten for mange.

- Vi blir rett og slett forskrekket om kommunen går inn for dette prosjektet.

Interested, read more here (http://www.bt.no/lokalt/article507717.ece).

I don't belive in that Sandviken proposal for a second=P Chances are even bigger that Surnadal would get a 100m tower=P

^ Yes, will never get built, and i don't really care. If Bergen should get a taller high-rise building is should be something more extraordinary, suchs as the Møllendal highrise, which was rejected as well.

Right, but every high-rise build is a victory against high-rise critics :P Buildings like these tend to grow on most people too. It would be great, but it's not realistic. I didn't realize Bergen (and all other towns) had such a large history of declining tall buildings, because i only payed attention too high-rise discussions for about a year. Sad to see great projects going in the garbage just because they are tall. Looking foreword to see how the new fløyfjellet cabin will look irl, tough. It will be a real cool landmark for Bergen i hope!

Yeah. Trondheim have strangely not been that bad, as two bigger highrise projects have been approved, but cancelled due to finance issues, or such as the Lerkendal Tower deal (approved 75m/20 fl), no need for offices or another hotel (that was in early 2002), by 2005 Trondheim was in great need of office space and in even bigger need of more hotel capacity, as they was planning at Lerkendal.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y162/cityz/Urban/LerkendalTower-3small.jpg

More space than needed is always better than just enough space, since up and down periods seem to come surprisingly nowadays, and doesn't last too long. In Norway we have been having great need of residentials in many cities, and offices and hotels in others, but we're too slow to react, and the good times is over before we get the buildings up!

Seems like with every new stadion being build, a high-rise gets included in the plans, but they rarely get build, only one yet is the Molde Rica hotell, as far as i know. Is it too late to build the tower now or is it still a posibility?

I'm not sure about Sør stadion in Kristiansand, but I think it is under construction.

Wants to build 7 70 meter high buildings in Sandvika, Bærum

Im quite sure this never will be buildt, and I don't mind. Its just looked weired placing 7 buildings like that along the rail road tracks. I would rather prefer them placed togheter in the center area.

For Lerkendal, no, not a chance sadly (unless Rosenborg start winning again!), as it was RBK's planns, and their economy is getting a bit worse, pluss that the area has been built into big ugly parking-lots today. And as they are still having the roof on Lerkendal Stadion-planns we'll never see anything like it.

Fredrikstad stadion highrise never got realised either, even though it was approved. Kristiansand has a bigger chance if that highrise is u/c by now, as it should be. And we'll see how things works out in Haugesund. Hamar stadion highrise never got through either.

Btw, the 13 floor tall high-rise which was approved in by the city council may last year will most likely never get taller then 7 floors. Hamar has also been a very tricky place to get through with high-rises, even though there has been many proposals.

Need a highrise?
Trondheim Kommune is selling their old HQ, 46m tall and 14 floors with three underground floors.

Photos of the building here (Emporis) (http://www.emporis.com/en/il/pc/?id=111296&aid=8).

They have moved out of the entire building now, potensial buyers is NTNU, who might want to reconstruct the entire are between this building and the University. E6 will go in a tunnel for about 2km, starting from Lerkendal Stadium down to Elgeseter.

Wow, i haven't noticed this one while in Trondheim, looks cool =)

Whatever happened to the Fredrikstad high-rise?

There's another proposal for Sandvika, who Ola Mæle proposes an High-rise for Sandvika 15-20 floors;P
http://www.hegnar.no/eiendom/article259365.ece

hmm, anyone knows where Bakelittomten is?

^ Sounds like somewhere in downtown Sandvika, so i guess you should know where it is! ;)

Then we have Løkketangen high-rise proposed, so can Sandvika get a little skyline?

http://www.baseark.no/sider/media_sider/bilde1_L20.jpg

Popular Danish proposal in Stavanger has gained most votes in a votinground in the local newspaper. A winner won't be choosen yet, but its a stand between 5 proposals, where two of them is high-rise buildings.

The planned 14 floor Hotell Opera in Kristiansund is approved by politicians, but again the cultureconserver says no because it's in conflict with the historic cityscape(!?) It's now up to the Environmental department to decide, if Thon doesn't back out.

Historic Cityscape? Where!? Most of Kristiansund was rebuilt after the war, and not very nicely either. With the hotel prices in that town, a new hotel would be more than welcome.

Ohh, Kristiansund, not Kristiansand! Didn't recognize that area...

Sorry about that, corrected it now=) Confusing names!

Exactly what i tought, didn't remember seing much old buildings in Kristiansund wich is mostly post-war, i remember most seing this goodlooking 1960s church, the height would be the same as this.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Kirkirk-profil-P7130111.JPG
So the general city picture is not the worst problem, I guess the problem is what you can see here, it would steal attention from the Festiviteten, early 1900-theatre at the end of the an axis. As shown here in the picture-series:

Still think it should be build=) Old and new is a great mix in my opinion!

Btw: Stumbled over this article about the Horisont Highrise in Trondheim wich is completed now, a Nimby-nabour fighting it, have changed and opinion and now think it's goodlooking=) http://www.adressa.no/forbruker/hjem/article1050146.ece

Its a building we will look at as a terrible commieblock in 30 years as its dark, simple and boring! But even that changes the worst enemies of highrises!

Btw, the new hotel at Brattøra is meeting heavy opposition, looks like its going to be 5 floors instead of 7 floors. They complain about it been a wall, which it is since they cancelled the proposed 20 story tall hotel, which was really slimb.

So now they are going for a lower and wider version, and has still not decided on how any of the people going on the express boats to Fosen, all the parkings to the hotel, or the parking to Pirbadet is going to be, because the hotel takes all ground space!

Well Bæerum kommune is not exactly the most forward-thinking of local govts. They cant even get their act together on basic public transportation let alone something like this - exemplified by this bizzare thinking. I think they'd best leave this project alone.

Ingenioren mentioned Horisont in Trondheim, here is the final result. Finally completed with its 15 floors. Trondheim's tallest highrise at 47m.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/cityw/Trondheim/DSC_0140small.jpg

As seen from some other angles. It fits well into Valentinlyst highrise-complex.

^^ It is a horrible highrise. Looking at those pictures I fully understand Nimby`s..

^^ I fully agree. They cancel all the spectacular and good projects, then they approve the terrible ones been cheap such as this one, and the Bergheim Amfi and Bergheim Terrasser a few years ago.

Btw, this is the reconstructed 45m tall Risvollan Senter.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/cityw/Trondheim/DSC_0091small.jpg

Its just been completed noewdays and the cranes is still up on the western side. It did look horrible before, actually the most horrible a highrise can get, but the new green facades doesn't suit me neither, so i am depressed about it since the developers bragged about how they were going to change it into Trondheim's most beautiful highrise! :bash:

This is how it did look like:

The kommune-building you showed a few pages back is Trondheims best looking high-rise=) And Tyholt tower is cute too;D The Space-group hotell is not a good looking, and not a Signalbuilding, a High-rise here with a beach-promenade would be great(shadow studies is obligated), but if i'm not mistaken the new E6 will be situated next to the fjord, making a barrier? The Solsiden pedestrian riverside area is very great, and Brattøra should be a continuing of this nice area next to the fjord=)

The Solsiden pedestrian riverside area is very great, and Brattøra should be a continuing of this nice area next to the fjord=)

There is no E6 been built in Trondheim. But Nordre Avlastningsvei will go next to here, but most of it is been built in a tunnel. Shadows here is something they don't need to bother about, since the high-rise is situated as far north in Trondheim you can get, leaving the shadows going into the fjord. Worst thing is that the shadow will cover half Pirbadet in the evenings! :lol:

So there is really not much against the highrise, exept one big matter; Nidarosdomen. Everything above 10floors is been cancelled at Midtbyen, as they want everyone to see Nidarosdomens tower when they enter the city. And another deal is that those living at Byåsen, Bakklandet etc. will lose about 0.5% of the view towards the fjord if a building gets up.

Btw, Kommunehuset is really ugly too, looks really dark and ugly as soon as the sun doesn't shine on it. The better looking highrise buildings in Trondheim is the newer ones on Heimdal such as Trekanten, Mediahuset and Quality panorama Hotel. They still sucks too though!

I only saw the pictures on Emporis(With sun), looked great there!
http://www.emporis.com/images/6/2006/05/458911.jpg

This is the one i'm refering too: Nordre Avlastningsvei, is signed E6 even tough the logical route trough the city is on Omkjøringsveien who is also signed E6 ;)
http://www.vegvesen.no/cs/Satellite?blobcol=urlpicture&blobheader=image%2Fjpeg&blobkey=id&blobtable=SVVbilde&blobwhere=1187335540945&ssbinary=true

Shadows will cover the road and pir as you say Wouldn't it be greater with a beach and a walking-path next to the city centre. Something that makes me really wonder, when some unhabited coast-line along Mjøsa gets this really expensive environmental-tunnels to keep the beach-front open to public, while this road cuts the city from the fjord, like also the new E6 trough Stjørdal, wich is even more weird, because the railway isn't creating a barrier off it's own.. I'm off topic now, but i don't get Statens vegvesens priorities at all! =P

This great churchs majesty could never be treatened by any high-rise=) That is one massive church=P And a 20 floor high-rise would be way back and look small in comparison. High-rises in Midtbyen i wouldn't be to happy to see tough, but Brattøra is ok in my opinion!

All about the costs (we need more money on infastructure again), but if there is something Trondheim sucks at is that they don't have a waterfront at all. Nordre Avlastningsvei should really go through i tunnel, all the way over Brattøra to the roundabout. And the railroads too, get rid of half of them, and put the reminding part underground.

I got my visions for Brattøra clear, on how i would like it to look like, and i am very open for some highrises there, though i'd rather see a highrise clauster around where Dora is today (that industrial/harbour area is been developed into residentials/offices/vultural area too), a place where it won't impact Nidarosdomen, or the fjord-view as seen from Bakklandet or Byåsen as much as around Pirbadet. :)

Well Bæerum kommune is not exactly the most forward-thinking of local govts. They cant even get their act together on basic public transportation let alone something like this - exemplified by this bizzare thinking. I think they'd best leave this project alone.

You got that right. Did you hear about their newest "brilliant" idea? An underground driverless metro going halfway across Bærum. Bærum already has a perfectly good bus system that works well even durning rush hour. So basically what this project will do if it's approved, along with costing a ton of money, is take all the traffic away from the buses.

But hey, it would be kinda cool to be the smallest city in the world with a metro system (102,000), although the metro system will only cater to around 40,000.

Hey Mulefisk! Welcome to Skyscrapercity! Do you mean an extention of the Kolsås-line to Sandvika?

Metro to Kolsås are scheduled to be finished in 2011. A prolongation to Rykkin is most realistic - but not before atleast 2020, the other lines are more to be considerated as visions. Here are the alternatives under investigation at this point. This whole thing would be extremly expensive. But with Kolsås metro, light rail from Bekkestua, and improved frequensy on the local trains in the future, public transportation will be good enough=)

As stated above, Horizon is a truly unremarkble building. So unremarkable, in fact, that I did not notice it this easter when I drove quite close by....

Nordre Avlastningsvei should really go through i tunnel, all the way over Brattøra to the roundabout. And the railroads too, get rid of half of them, and put the reminding part underground.

I don't think a single highrise at Brattøra would block much view for the people of Bakklandet and certainly not from Byåsen, but a highrise here just would not look good, since it would be a pimple on the face of central Trondheim who is rather well planned when it comes to height compared with other Norwegian cities. I do not believe in "signalbygg", the seldom turn out well in Norway. The best places to build clusters of highrises in Trondheim, and I mean really high :), would in my opinion be Tiller and Trolla.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but as the Brattøra-area is is now, I do not think Nordre Avlastningsvei (NAV) would create a barrier, as the railway freight terminal effectively cut people off from the fjord already. In fact, the project is building up a park and a new beach above the tunnel which would be a new access point to the water. Of course the people of Trondheim wanted more, but since the people working in the capital press and government did not use the road on their way to their cabin, it was impossible to get any money for a more environmental twist of this project.
but the whole project is a scandal, a typical example of how the politicians can't meet reality. Once the railway terminal has moved out (hopefully in 10-15 years as the area simply is not large enough), I believe this issue will come up again, and some of Þróndeimr visions (except highrises) might get fulfilled.

Having said that, NAV is a true scandal and a typical example of how Norwegian politicians and road authorities just can't meet reality. It is only a two-lane road, and, surprise, surprise, SINTEF has now calculated that the road will be jammed at the opening day. According to the entrepeneur, building the tunnel with four lanes now would have been 25 % more expensive. Building a new tunnel later would of course be at least of the same prise as the current tunnel, as they would have to dig a new ditch, and get all the equipment and materials up again.......

Horisont: Yes, it sure looks like it was apart of the Valentinlyst complex been built in the 60s.

You are very right about NAV, its probably something we will start discussing in a few years now. A high-rise clouster at Trolla would be great, with 4x4 motorway at NAV, and of course tunnels from Illsvika to Trolla, and continuing to Flakk (as Flakk-Rørvik will probably exist for another decade!). But since the population is living east and south of Trondheim, Tiller would probably be the best!

Btw, drove the opened phase of NAV through the tunnels last week too, traffic runned fine, but it will most certainly jam massivly when the entire road open. During rush hours the traffic from Lade to Byåsen/Osloveien will be great, then with several km's of traffic-trains from the ferries comming at Illsvika it will jam.

Doesn't exactly help since they removed the toll-ring and increased city buses to cost 30 NOK ;P

>> Grefsen Stasjonsby
Location: County|Oslo > City|Oslo

Height: 42m (three high-rise buildings)
Floors: 12 floors

Grefsen Stasjonsby is a large development area in Grefsen, Oslo. The entire building area will be on 85 000 square meters with 900 apartments. Construction is expected to start in 2007, and the entire area will be completed in 2017.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y162/cityz/Urban/GrefsenStasjonsby2small.jpg

News about this project today (believe it those who will). The have agreed on it being 12 floors (not fourteen as previously planned), and they are making fewer and bigger apartments, leaving the project at 850 apartments instead of 900. No one dares to suggest any time schedule for it, though.

Not one of my favorite projects, this one. It is more of what would correctly be described as a "wall". My suggestion is "go back to your drawing boards"!

This is good news=) Looking forward to seeing some cranes! I like dense areas - and this is actually not so dense, each appartment will get green-area acording to 30% off the appartments size, and this area has one of the best public transport connections in the city! There will be variation in height and facades, altough some more height wouldn't bother anyone=) A city will always be a wall in some way... ;p Today there's nothing at all in this area... To bad they wouldn't force the developpers to build a tunnel connecting the area in the North...

Well I guess it that the rendering in my previous post, that has followed this project for a long time, makes the area look more wall-like than what's fair. Still it's obvious that the terrain here isn't completely suited for this kind of housing style.

About Logo. It is good to here that it isn't removed. Then we also know more about the power of city boroughs for next time we use them as sources. Nydalen will be great when done!

Well, it's dificult to make it not look like a wall, when the plot is a long and narrow piece of land. Along the Northside of it is a two sets of metro tracks, 4 sets of railway tracks, a station a motorway and the huge tram-hall, so who cares if it's a wall - it will improve the area anyway=) Today the area is a fenced gravel storage place... Hope they will build some shops and restaurants to;D

Boring and blocky. It seems as Hamar builds it to be more of a city when you read the text. That's no reason for high-rises..

Several shitty high-rises here, but since its some early designes been showed yet i guess we can just wait and hope they do some more out of it.

First thread is updated with the latest proposals from Oslo, with 127m tall office building next to Postgirobygget, and the new Oslo Central Station with two high-rises on 20 floors (?) and Krystallen on 13 floors.

There is 22 proposals in a international competition in Larvik. Aim is the harbourfront, a larger development site. Today this is just another harbourfront. Most of the proposals contains low-rise buildings, but a few team also propose some high-rise buildings.

Too see all 22 proposals, and a bigger PDF-edition of each, go here (http://www.op.no/morgendagens_larvik/article3598450.ece)!

There are some investors plans for a tower off 40 ore maybe even 60 meters at the port in Moss:

They want to have it built by 2014.

Lund Hagem, Atelier Oslo og Schønherr landskab (as one team) have won the architectural competition to design the 4 high-rise buildings at Lervig Brygge in Stavanger. The high-rises will be 12, 14, 16 and 18 floors tall. This means that the project will now go into more detailed planning, hopefully we'll see good renderings withinn a year, then a final approval or rejection.

Other teams who had proposals for the site was Spacegroup, Brandsberg Dahls Arkitektkontor, Julien de Smedt Architects and SEarkitekter. I hope to find renderings of these proposals as well since all of them are some great firms!

300m tall floating skyscraper in Oslo?

and

A gigantic floating science centre in Trondheim?

Marintek in Trondheim wants to build a new gigantic floating science centre close to Trondheim's harbour. The center, or The World Ocean Space Center which is its name will offer the world biggest and most advanced research center for the maritime world. Inspired by Dubai, they walso want to build a taller observation tower right by it for tourists and visitors. StatoilHydro is interested to move to this building as well.

Marintek, which is one of the worlds leading research communities based in Trondheim have been planning this building for two years. Cost of this construction is estimated to around 8-9 billion NOK (1 billion euros) = two Oslo Opera'houses!

http://www.adressa.no/multimedia/archive/01026/visjon3kopi_1026182b.jpg

wow, that's huge!

Double-lol! Please, why are we letting summer-interns running the whole Norwegian architecture realm?!

There is a competition for a larger office complex in Trondheim, this one located about 1km south of Lerkendal Stadium, a area which have aseveral high-rises already right next to industrial buildings which was supose to go away several years ago. A 20 floor tall office building is been planned here, which was announced half a year ago.

I don't know much about this competition, but 70°N arkitektur proposes 4 highrise-buildings in a clauster. These high-rise buildings is from 18 floors tall to 26 floors tall. Entire project is 72 000m2 large.

Nice to see that Trondheim is getting some new highrises, but the buildings look very akward to me. Something about the cladding and they way they're all slanty.

But either way they look better than Oslo's proposed 300 metre tall casino.. :lol:

Head news in Adressa now is a brilliant one. A politician for Trondheim's by far biggest political party want more bold architecture and architects in Trondheim. Trondheim needs to change. All we got today is Nidarosdomen which is in a class of its own. Trondheim needs brilliant modern architecture and mention Turning Torso, iPad Tower in Dubai and Torra Agbar (Barcelona). :cheers:

From adressa.no (http://www.adressa.no/nyheter/trondheim/article1114914.ece#)
Er dette noe for Trondheim?
Arkitektene må tørre mer i Trondheim, mener kommunalråd Geir Waage (Ap) som vil ha mer futt i byutviklingen, for eksempel når Leüthenhaven skal forvandles.

http://www.adressa.no/multimedia/archive/01027/arkitektur_collage_1027343b.jpg

– Hvorfor har vi ikke et Guggenheim-museum i Trondheim? Et kanskje mer realistisk spørsmål: Hvorfor har vi ikke et Snøhetta-bygg? spør kommunalråd Geir Waage, som sitter i bygningsrådet for Arbeiderpartiet.

Han er lei av kjedelige nybygg i Trondheim og synes de siste ti år ikke har bydd på særlig mer enn ordinær byggestil.

– Kom med noe spenstig! er hans klare oppfordring.

Dårlig stelt
Med arkitektutdanning i byen og mange dyktige arkitekter, burde forholde ligge vel til rette for noen solide signalbygg i Trondheims bygningsfauna.

Foruten Nidarosdomen, som stiller i en egen klasse, står det dårlig til, mener Waage.

– Vi har utrolig mange stilige, gamle bygg som for eksempel trehusbebyggelsen. Men det sier jo sitt når nesten det eneste signalbygget vi har, et fra 1100-tallet. Vi trenger noe nytt som kan være en ny berikelse for byen og som folk stopper opp ved, sier han og viser til et knippe utenlandske bygninger som eksempler: Turning Torso i Malmö, Agbar Tower i Barcelona, iPad-bygningen i Dubai, og Serpentine-paviljongen i London.

Etterlyser arkitektdebatt
Kommunalråden mistenker at utbyggere og arkitekter satser ordinært for å være mer sikre på å få prosjektene vedtatt i kommunen.

Waage vil imidlertid si klart ifra om at politikerne, i alle fall hans parti, ønsker seg noe mer utenom det vanlige. Han vil også at byens arkitekter skal hive seg mer med i offentlig debatt om byens arkitektur.

– Debatten omkring arkitektur i Trondheim er stort sett bare debatt om etasjer og høyde, og det virker som om vi har høydeskrekk i denne byen. Nå må utbyggere og arkitekter slippe seg mer løs og tore satse på noe mer originalt, sier Waage. (Kan kuttes fra her

Det er mindre enn en måned siden bygningsrådet blankt avviste et stort byggeprosjekt i Verftsgata 2, på andre siden av Nidelva for Royal Garden-hotellet, fordi utformingen ikke falt i politikernes smak. Men Geir Waage har ikke Verftsgata 2-tomta i tankene i denne omgang.

– Prosjektet ble avvist fordi det skilte seg for mye ut fra omgivelsene. Jeg tror heller ikke den tomta er riktig sted for spenstige prosjekt, i og med at området rundt er såpass satt som det er.

– Et argument som ofte kan brukes imot fiffige nyprosjekt?

– Jo, men en må også bruke byrommet for å se mulighetene framfor begrensningene, sier Waage. til hit, om nødvendig)

Fornøyd med Svartlamoen
Han trekker frem Leüthenhaven som eksempel på et område som kan utvikles til noe nytt og spennende.

I reguleringsvedtaket for Kalvskinnet ble det vedtatt at det skal lyses ut arkitektkonkurranse for området og at bygningsmassen bør «utformes slik at parken og bygningsmassen får et helhetlig og spennende uttrykk».

– Hva er det beste vi har i Trondheim i dag da, utenom Nidarosdomen?

– Hmm, ja si det. Vel, bare det at jeg må tenke meg ordentlig om for å komme på noe, sier sitt. Men, jo, trehuset på Svartlamoen: Dét er spennende arkitektur! sier Waage og legger til:

– Jeg tror vi har et kjempepotensial for å få til en spennende byutvikling i Trondheim med masse flott arkitektur, men det fordrer at både utbyggerne, arkitekter og vi politikere tør å tenke nytt.

Great news for you up there, hope it also leads to something.

Great thread!
Hope there will be many new highrises in the Stavanger region.:banana:

A office high-rise is approved for Kaldnes waterfront development in Tønsberg, it will be 10 floors and 40 meters high... This is a compromise, between 12 floors that the developpers wanted and 9 floors wich was the original plan...
http://tb.no/article/20080830/NYHETER/101749487

9 or 10 floors? Whats the diffrence? Build 20! They call a 10 floors building a signal building? :/

Well at least finally, 6-7 years since i first heard about this high-rise, and saw the masterplanns.

This is my kind of mayor:
http://www.aftenbladet.no/lokalt/article692463.ece
He want's a landmark in his small village of Nærbø, 5000 inhabitants (not far from Bryne.) That would certainly dwarf "The Jær citys" highrise=)
http://web3.aftenbladet.no/multimedia/archive/00242/Lokale_hoyhus_2008__242360i.jpg
Nærbø to get Norways tallest? ;D

^^ Strange place to put such a tall building, but I hope it will happen anyway!

Noways highest building in Bryne^^ Funny

Love it!
Hope they build it,despite the odd location. I would rather see more highrises in Forus.

Lots of maybe that has to be worked on, atleast an interested hotel-chaine and political accept.. ;P

Nice design and location! At the top of a mountain it's a bit unurban though. But, hey, I'm routing for this one!

It will be quite a landmark!

Like it! Is the inspiration a sail perhaps?

Wow, its design is fantastic, its location is perfect, extremly attractive. Perhaps that design would fit better into a modern city though. A highrise at that location, in that area, with that view and surroundings might demand a more "wild" and unurban design, but the proposal is really great!

Nærbø highrise, cool vision, will be interesting to see if it ever gets more than a crazy vision in such a small place! ;)

Caledonien hotel in central Kristiansand with its existing 13 floor building maybe teared down and replaced by a 25 floor:

Current hotel is really, really ugly and need to be totally reconstructed. But Kristiansand will never approve a 25 floor tall building at that site. Caledonien will look like now for many decades to come.

I know, a bit pessimistic but realistic! ;)

If you check the other article from Farsund avis, you see the hotel builders are willing to try different heights, including a massive low-rise.. Only they get the squaremeters allowed... Really weird how the two articles on the same story tells it very different... ;P So it's up to Kristiansand to decide what they would rather have.... (Massive low-rise)

HLM Arkitektur & Plan AS (http://www.hlm.no/) won a competition with a masterplan proposal including a 18 floor tall office building in Bergen. The site is owned by GC Rieber Eiendom (http://www.rieber-eiendom.no/) which will finnance the 2 billion NOK office park consisting of several office buildings. Its situated at Birkelandskrysset, closer to the airport. Entire area is around 70 000sqm and will give a working place to 3 000 people. But this one is at a early stage yet and the developer sais it won't be completed anytime before 2020.

What Bergens tidende writes about this project: http://www.bt.no/na24/article629476.ece Construction start is posible withinn one year... (Not high-rise, but for the project)

What Bergens tidende writes about this project: http://www.bt.no/na24/article629476.ece Construction start is posible withinn one year... (Not high-rise, but for the project)

True, it sais it depends on the demand. So i guess we will see some low-rise office building popping up first. And since we see a decrease in need of office space in most of Norway i guess we might need to wait a few years to we see that highrise, if we ever see anything.

From what i see in the discussion on BT most people is extremly negative towards these planns. Strange, but typical! Last year they turned down on highrise projects in downtown Bergen due to some extreme opposition. Urgent need of more space drove the developers outside the city like this one, but the opposition is just as large! Don't people want more working places anymore or what?

^^I have expressed myself negatively about those people, and I will do it again. Bergen truly is a lost case!:bash: Let them have their recession. Bergen is known as the only larger city in Norway where there are more people moving out than in.

If it gets built, it will probably turn out to be a hotel... =) Plans like this will speed up extention of Bybanen hopefully!

Which would not actually be a high-rise. Fredrikstad disappoints!

Appearantly they are considering building them in massive wood.
Cover it with whatever. Those two will never look good eitherways!

That is high for a town like Fredrikstad where 7 floors is almost impossible to build... ;P
Thon Hotell Svolvær, 10 floors:

^^^Sad, Svolvær should not have buildings like that

^^^Sad, Svolvær should not have buildings like that


Agree. In some cases I agree a bit with the nimbys. Some towns should stick to traditional lowrise archtecture. I would not want to see modern buildings where a lot of turists expect a nice little town with traditional wooden buildings.

this month's european architecture magazine a10 features a long story about helen & hard + introduces a bunch of their work.

This is the design for Thons hotell in Moss, 45 meters tall, 200 rooms and 13 floors. They wish to start construction. They say they have been inspired by Sas hotel in Oslo... Thon hopes to have it finished by september 2011, he needs a fast approval or he will not build. Politicians are very positive!

I'm not quite sure how thats will fit in in Moss, but I guess nothing of what's there today fit in either... Moss will always be an ugly industrial city, like most other Østfold-cities.

Moss is like most Norwegian cities I guess. Industrial, and ugly. But it has a lot of new development. In five years Moss have got a new airport, 2 new shopping centres, a remodeled shopping centre. They are renovating the city centre for a lot of million NOK, so it can only get better!

Yes, Moss is ugly and need a larger renovation of its downtown/harboursite. Some high-rises is most welcome there too, though i'd like Thon to use some more money on architecture and design. But that won't happend, since Thon is all about business. :(

Wow, I managed to lure out the Moss-forumer! I recognize that there has been some new development in Moss, some modernistic appartment projects on old industrial plots along the coast. Personally I'm not fond of how much of the shopping in the inner city is focused around the Amfi-shopping mall, but.. Eitherway the only real project that could change Moss and how the inner city works, is to remove the ferry, basicly.

I do agree that the ferry should be removed, but I don't agree that it is necesary to change the city life in the inner city. The inner city has very low traffic volumes compared to the roads around Moss. A lot of streets have been closed, and that has helped on traffic volumes.

Moss' largest problem isn't the Amfi shopping centre, but all the shopping and car based commercial activities outside the city. Strip-malls seems to be popping up everywhere.

If they move the ferry there will build exactly the same as in Sandefjord and Tønsberg and thats just ugly!

200 hotellrom, butikker og et restauranttårn 60 meter over bakken er drømmen for utbygger. (http://www.aftenbladet.no/lokalt/article700954.ece)

^^ Man, one highrise (Forum Jæren) can really do alot, since all of Brynes nabours wants to build tall signal-towers now!

Yes, the Bryne effekt! <3 To bad we live in the wrong part of the country... =P

If you read this article (http://jbl.no/modules/module_123/proxy.asp?I=26818&C=66&D=2&mid=165) ,you see they are planning to build another highrise in Tjøtta(wich is very close to Bryne). But they fear that this new building will distract Forum Jæren. But nothing is decided yet, a decision will be taken sooner this year. Personally i don`t think they will distract each other. Hope it gets approved!:)

Yes! I've posted it before=) A lot going on in Jæren... !

Found this image of Kilen brygge (Sandefjord) at HRTB.no ... Is this the final design? I like it...
http://www.hrtb.no/prosjekter/images/bo_lo_kilen.jpg

Intruiging design, and it seem to fit in well with the area. Nice!

Not my kind of design, looks awful actually! Just trying to make something people will notice, it will work, though i was hoping it would be noticed diffrently!

Btw, nice too see this highrise going through, since i though they dropped this one several years ago!

Trondheim Kommune have engaged two architect companies to make proposals to their site at Holtermannsveien 1.
Today this is a rather large site close to the St. Olav's Hospital and NTNU University. But most of it is a large parking lot
and some small forests nobody have ever done anything with. In the middel, TEAB, the city council building, a 46m tall office
building with 14 floors built in 1970. There was a reconstruction there in 2003, where the facade got green, instead of
grey. But Trondheim Kommune is now moving out, selling the entire site.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/cityq/Projects%20and%20developments/Holtermannsveien1.jpg

Pir II Arkitektkontor AS (http://www.pir2.no/) and LinkSignatur AS (http://www.link-signatur.no/) have made 5 different proposals for the site. Two of the proposals includes a highrise
taller than the current one, and one proposal proposes to demolish the current highrise building. A winner will be chosen on
October 1st.

^^ Would recommend any some of our Oslo members to go to that session, since its information about three of the most important highrise projects in Oslo/Norway! :)

The only problem is the rather steep price of 2900 ++ NOK to attend. Otherwise I would go.Even though I'm not a professional within the Steel Industry.

Just a preview from the first page, its updated now, will make it easier for me to update it from now on. It will also be
easier for you to see a complete overview of all the highrise projects in Norway. Not done with it yet though, so i need
a few more days! :)

Holy crap man.
Great work. If only the Barcode builders had your enthusiasm
:okay:

Yes this is the final design. At least HRTB have the winning design which dates back to (August) 2006. The highrise goes under the name Kilen Brygge Hus 7.

The building will have 27 apartments, with stores in the first floor. Note; The building will have 11 floors. Highest point will be cote +38.5m, which means the building's height should be just around 35m tall, and goes under the terms of a highrise, can't confirm it yet as i don't know cote at the buildings floor.

Its approved and construction is supose to start in November/December with a completion in May/June 2010.

This is very good, Þróndeimr! Cheers for all your effort making a great tread!!

Great news about Kilen Brygge=)

^^ Finally, been waiting for something to happend soon. Nice design too, Narvik needs it, since they don't really have anything architecturally interesting there!

^^You don't like their city hall? It's iconic. The home of the Hanso Foundation.

Over to the hotel, i like it. Every city should have it's own skybar!
