Deloitte Bygget
Deloitte Bygget is a part of the OperaKvarteret (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=774674) highrise clauster

Deloitte Bygget, or Isfjellet is inspired from a breaking glacier according to the architects. Isfjellet is the third building from the west been built
in OperaKvarteret, a line of 11 high-rise buildings facing the fjord and the new Oslo Opera House.

The two lowest storeys of the building will have shops and refreshment areas. From the 2nd floor to the 11th floor there will be offices. The 12th
floor to the 15th floor will hold a canteen and conference rooms with adjacent green roof terraces.

The building's design has developed from the point of intersection of the building's internal room design, the external limitation and the desire to
create a building that is sculptural in form. The building complies with the barcode principles, but in addition it introduces an intersection of surfaces
on the horizontal and vertical planes. The creation of interplay with the Station Common's landscape has been of great importance.

The sight corridor in the planning regulation limits the height of the buildings in a field that cuts across the roof toward Ekebergåsen. From the
Station Common across connection will be maintained which will also convey the difference in height between the Station Common and the
neighbouring building's street level.

This looks really wierd... It totally breaks the Barcode principles.

Do you got some sources about the project?

^ Here is the article: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/oslo/article2129650.ece

I sure hope they approve it, think its going to look great togather with Visma, and with the Opera in front (hopefully it will stay white!). If it gets rejected i hope they build it in Stavanger close to Føniks and Forus Hotel! :cheers:

its awesome, and once again I need to stress the innovative facade used - seems like the new type of concrete, which can be folded into whatever shape at whatever thickness, awesome stuff!

In today’s Aftenposten Aften all of the people asked (except for the Byens Fornyelse (a major NIMBY movement) representative) were positive to the proposal. But as we know, both Høyre and Venstre are very sensitive to complaints from NIMBY's…

This one is really very impressive. Maybe there are more renderings?

As soon as there is some out, this is the place you'll find them! ;)

As far as the article states, no materials have yet been decided. Sorry.

As far as the article states, no materials have yet been decided. Sorry.

i know how the architects think, trust me, its this new concrete thing(Ductal i think).

very unique design like most recent Norwegian desgins

Sorry, no news. But shouldnt we expect some news in the nearest future? This ought to be the next, right?

Think OSU will try to find tenant to the already approved and designed (former) Visma-building before we'll see any news about Isfjellet.

Since the regulation plan for the whole area is approved, it's not that much holding either buildings from digging in. The "rammeplan" (or what it's called) is not that big deal.

Eitherway it seems a bit weird that none of them will be ready with the coming pedestrian bridge. It will be a bridge into a wasteland for many years. "Welcome, drug addicts"?:shifty:

http://www.bjorvikautvikling.no/stream_file.asp?iEntityId=360

Wow, that looks amazing! Better than the other buildings that have been proposed/are under construction so far.

^^ True, this is a by far the best Barcode building as of now! :)

I've even read about this proposal in a English architectural magazine a few months ago, they had big words for it!

If they reject it, give the design to Stockholm instead! :lol: I love it!

If they reject it, give the design to Stockholm instead! :lol: I love it!

Meh, the building need to be in a country known for glaciers, and for that reason ill rather give this proposal to Iceland or maybe Greenland if they reject it in Norway! :D

As I said in another thread this is absolutely stunning!

Their still working on all those complaints since all consequenses and alternatives was not properly invistigated... =P Have you forgotten about this? http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/distrikt/ostlandssendingen/1.5399868 Maybe DNB-nor will be the first to rise... This winter... ;P

Snøhetta experimening with different facades and shapes, or is this a earlier version (hopefully it is)? But its typical Norwegian to simplify designs which is tmore advanced than usual.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v188/cityx/Architecture/Snoarcfacade1.jpg

That facade you're refering to seems to be the current one. The story I got the rendering in post #13, is from March 13th (this year), and the facade is like your render all the way. The change of the facade is just a minor change they did a long time ago, I guess..

http://www.bjorvikautvikling.no/modules/module_123/proxy.asp?D=2&C=9&I=57

The article also shows a rendering of the Oslo Z building, which is the U/C building on the other end of the bridge. This was presented in Aftenposten today.

its awesome, and once again I need to stress the innovative facade used - seems like the new type of concrete, which can be folded into whatever shape at whatever thickness, awesome stuff!

With our current level of knowledge, I can with certainty state that this is not the deal.

This does not look as good as the other one at all! :ohno:

There were probably opposition about the windows (or the lack of them).

It's seems as they've also straightend up the north-western corner. I'm not to happy about that, as this building is getting more and more similar to the other Barcodes...

They have removed the coolest part... Instead of a pointy iceberg we end up with a half-melted puddle...:down: Still the nicest in barcode tough... To bad they get out hopes up with their unplausible drawings... This was Oslos best building by far:ohno:

This was Oslos best building by far:ohno:

Yeah, i am sure though, Snøhetta themself would love to go for the first version. Again this shows that Norway will never manage to take the leading role in modern and futuristic architecture, since this was really the only real proposal which was that good.

And right, they have straightend up the walls, both the sides and the front (not just the north-western wall). The building is now simply a square building, with a crack in the middel. Seems like someone didn't like the first renderings, since they kinda broke with Barcode's original idea.

Where did you find the picture?

So here is the renderings of the new design a bit larger. Feel free to use this in the first post...

Where did you find the picture?

"Bjørvika Temakveld" commercial.

Too bad about the new shape, but the new facade is still really great. But the glacial "idea" is more or less gone.

Beautiful, but I would prefer that they at least stick with the colour white

Another rendering, Isfjellet in the upper left corner.

Btw, OSU page sais the following "Byggets fasade mot nordøst og sporområdet vil fremstå som et vertikalt element i BARCODEs fasaderekke og er vist med en maksimal høyde på C+ 67. Mot Dronning Eufemias gate vil fasaden inngå i fasaderekken med en lavere frontfasade enn sine naboer grunnet siktkorridoren i reguleringsplanen C+ 51."

Thats means Isfjellet is 67m tall (taller than KLP), or is C+ meaning kote (height above sea level)?

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y162/cityz/Urban/BarcodeA1.jpg

This is a geat render. Too bad we can't see the top of Isfjellet and KLP.

According to Aftenposten Aften, the construction of this building has been postponed since they haven't signed in any tenants. OSU will continue building the rest of Barcode skipping this one. OSU claims that the problem isn't the financial crisis that they have potential tenants. They just haven't got through an offer they like, or something..:nuts: Visma will then be next bar to pop up, with construction start early 09.

^^
That is bad! And I really hope it is just postponed.

Doh!

No suprise there really. They have previously stated that they prefer to have at least one big tenant renting most of the space for each building before starting construction.

^^
That is bad! And I really hope it is just postponed.

It really is just postponed. The barcode-project is decided on and started, so there is no way there will be an empty "hole" in the area;)

so there is no way there will be an empty "hole" in the area;)

No I kinda figured that, but what I don't like when things such as this happens is the possibility that something less expensive might show up at that space, something really ugly and boring.
Probably won't be the case here, but it doesn't feel good when stuff like this happens!
But on the other hand if it takes quite a while, something better might show up instead, not likely but you never know.
Anyway it's a shame!

DnB-Nor will also be delayed a bit, since they found all those shipwrecks;D Atleast Visma will grow up soon, and we will just have to be patient regarding the rest of the bars..;D

This project should probably have "approved" in it's title..

hehe, i make Swede do it, then i act like i had to power to do it and say i was the one who did it! :D

From Isfjellet-plot, piling is being done:

http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv353/Ingenioren2/holmenkollentur/DSC_1652.jpg

^^ Is it under construction when piling is being done? It's part of the building's foundation?

Technicly you can say that, but they will build the basement, and then there will be a while before they build the tower... Depends on Osu renting it out...

As the basement is shared between all the buildings in Operakvarteret they have to build it anyway, so that's no indication that we'll soon see Isfjellet rising.

It does however gives us a shorter construction time when they decide to build it! :)

And we are waiting and waiting..

Can somebody please make a deal with OSU on this one, ASAP!

Starting to speed up with the foundations now:

If i was the one operating that digger my wife would come down there and beat the crap out of me;P

ahahaha that dude is freaking extreme! i like that!

i posted here to ask for some updates? :) this is my most anticipated barcode project!!

btw you have a wife? i thought you were in uni!!

Relax. It's been only a few days, not much has changed... Anyway, this is only the foundationwork going ahead, you will have to wait a little before they start on the building since they have not as far as we know rented out the space.

Yes, i'm married, sometimes one meets the right girl early in life :)

oh, wow :) youre lucky! ;)

i guess i will have to try and focus on other projects while theyre finishing up the foundationwork on isfjellet!!

it will look amazing when done, though! i feel like im the only one who prefers the final proposal over that other one! i think this one looks more like a building.

besides, the other one doesnt seem to have any windows!!! :O

You like Isfjellet? Check out the presentation here, under "Snøhettabygget" :http://www.stalguiden.com/NFSstaldag2008.htm
I would like more of the codes to have articulate tops like this, a little boring with the same heights and the same flat tops, but atleast there is a chance some of them will have bushes and trees on the roof:) - Mesa hope!

On another note. The OSU guys confirmed our suspicions, construction of Isfjellet will be halted after the two basement levels are completed unntil they find tenants for the building.

”Build it and they will come”. As a billboard at Dundas Square told me; screw the recession! ;)

Anyway, nice pictures. The bridge is coming up very fast.

To halt it is just stupid. It takes years to build it anyway, till that time they have surely found some tenants.

Fair enough they build when they get tennants, but why couldn't they have followed a linear progression. I don't like this to be an empty spot (Aswell as Mads appartment tower) in the area after everything else is finished around it....

Hi everybody! My first post, been checking these forums for some weeks now, especially everything conserning the Oslo developments and wanna thank you for all the great pictures and constant updates, keep it up! :D

Now, I must say I hate the new renderings of this building. IMO it should be removed from the Barcode project and be placed somewhere else to fulfill its potensial. Don't get me wrong, I love Barcode, but the buildings must follow some strict guidelines to fit in with the original idea. Isfjellet, as a breaking glacier, is complete anarchy and therefore totally misplaced here. This project is strong enough to stand on its own feet, follow the first renderings with some adjustments, like making it taller for dramatic effect, and we will finally have a proper true highrise in this city.

Welcome!

Personally I think Isfjellet has a pretty cool and diffrent design than the other barcodebuildings and will that way make a good variation.

It's not really that radical no, just because of the tilting top, maybe - don't think that is any matter - it would fit well there with the original design... A little anarchy is btw. a good thing in city planning, overplanned cities are very boring...

You hear the Norwegian architects complain about the constant bickering from politicians and NIMBY's in general, delay of plans, and the forced adjustments they have to make. In this case, with this building, Snøhetta has no reason to do that. They knew certain demands had to be met to fit it in this project. I think they are in many ways spoiling a great idea just like Akersgata Atrium already is a standing proof of at Grønland. Another study of missed opportunities.

Is everything being built after the Opera given some sort of handicap to prevent them from grabbing attention? Is that the confidence they give something that has already gathered a lot of attention and prizes internationally? Cause it really should have no problem standing its own ground.

My opinion exactly http://forum.ferion.com/images/smilies/biggrinbounce.gif

And I think the answer is very much yes. Sadly...

Looks like there will be facades in aluminum (http://web102881.pbe.oslo.kommune.no/saksinnsyn/showfile.asp?fileid=2290420).

^^Aluminium? That's a bit cheap:shifty:... Something else than the stone and glass we're used to... Why did they not chose marble? It worked so great for them in the other Bjørvika project.

um, i'm not sure, that's why i asked - it's easier to search for a thread on a specific building when you know what it's called...

but, the black one with the thin white stripes - oslo-z, i can't find a thread on it?

:dunno:

Its Oslo Z, I dont think it ever had a thread because its not a highrise

You will maybe find it in the norwegian update thread or oslo development. I don't remember where.

thanks, it's just rather nice...

But KLP is the only black one there. Oslo Z is light grey, at best. The windows are only colored by their reflections;)

About Oslo Z, i think it's on the brink of completion. The 23.000 sqm building is also the north accending/descending of Stasjonsalmenningen, where the bridge is directly integrated with the building:)

^^ looks great with snow! :yes:

Nice! This will definitely be one of the most interesting buildings in Oslo once it's finished.

Yes, but it annoys me that they never start the construction.

^^ Still no news on tenants? Quite weird as the design might be one of the most interesting of the barcode project.

^^ Still no news on tenants? Quite weird as the design might be one of the most interesting of the barcode project.

It's on the frontpage of Akershus Eiendom's newest magazine for business property. Seems as they're getting pretty desperate to get rid of it. Maybe they will split it into smaller tenants anyways?

If construction started, smaller tennants would fill this up before it was finished... ;P

I think OSU is too fastidious in this case. They won't find one tennant to fill the whole building, not even two. I think it's good to have some small companies in tha area too, not only big ones like Pwc and Klp.

The magazine on the same website says 2011/2012...

Well, that's nice - and more realistic. There's another unseen render there aswell - the westside of Snøhetta i don't get, i guess the blank spots fucking up the pattern are where the elevators will be located, but it doesn't look nice, granted the pavillion next to it will not cover it up, being only 1 or 2 floors... (Like in the previously posted renders.) :

OT:
Also interesting to see the project from Lysaker, together with Thon, this will finish up the largest holes there, i don't like the long horrible groundscrapers that stretches along E18, but rather densify in a more urban style around the station and river.
http://www.akershus-eiendom.no/fileadmin/files/utleiemagasin.pdf

The change in the design of the first floor (and elsewhere in the facade) is quite massive, isn't it?

Another retarted square-ification in Barcode...:ohno:

Maybe I'm just looking at this wrong, but aren't the top two renders from the east side which will be the funky-looking one while the bottom one is from the southwest, which looks more square? If so, the changes haven't been all that great.

This is .... :bow:

Man, this was nice :okay:

All i can say is WOW! Superb renderings of a beautiful building:nocrook:

8/4-10

To complete the circle, here is Snøhettas idling spot - it has gotten some asphalt too so i guess it will stay like this for a while.
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss282/Ingenioren3/DSC_1562.jpg

Im posting this here.

Og yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Snøhetta bygget finally rented out.

Deloitte will be moving in.

see article at www.ne.no

fantastic news.

:okay:

Sweet!

(Direct link to the article here (http://ne.no/32878))

Fantastic news! Start the construction today! (or wait to the construction workers are finished with theire strike)

Great news - and quite fun that three of the Big Four auditors will be neighbors. The odd one out will be KPMG at Majorstua.

Strike? WTF! This is awesome, it's all ready to rise aswell, this may be the 5th finished building in Bjørvika after all, there's a head start in front of bygg C!

Edit: Or maybe not....


Deloitte vil flytte inn i siste halvdel av 2013.

Great news - and quite fun that three of the Big Four auditors will be neighbors. The odd one out will be KPMG at Majorstua.

Maybe KPMG will be moving into one of the lowrises in Bjørvika instead?


Selskapet
sitter i dag i KPMG-bygget på
Majorstua, men vurderte inntil
nylig å flytte inn i Visma-bygget
i Bjørvika.

Maybe KPMG will be moving into one of the lowrises in Bjørvika instead?

When will we get information about how the other side (south) of DEG will look? I guess that is where the lowrises will be.

After E18 is moved, and the new street grid of Bjørvika is ready. This is expected to be done in 2014. We already know some, as large parts of this partly goes under the deichmanske/munch project.

Edit: Or maybe not....

It says it will be completed in 2012, and Deloitte move in in 2013. If they need a couple of years building it, they might start this fall?

Paul Lodøen states to Aften this evening that construction on Deloittebygget vil resume in the first half of 2011 due to a period of detailplanning. It will be completed by the end of 2012. Construction is already 1/3 done as you know. He also says that Barcodes shopping-area will be up and running by 2013.

They made it VERY clear in the article that the name of the building is "Isfjellet" among the people. Personally I didn't even know there were other than us speaking of it.:dunno: Anyways, I think we should stick with Isfjellet in the future also. Just like we're still sticking to "Barcode":D

Wow, you're finally getting aften :applause:

Wow, you're finally getting aften :applause:

No, but I read it every time I'm back in Ås. You know, the place where they actually DO get my local paper (Midt i byen)!

This plan indicates there will be 7 (!) locations for outdoor eating in this building:

And another unseen render i stumbled over:

Maybe I'm hallucinating but I thought I saw a crane at the site today? Have they started work?

Really, really, really envious of Oslo these days! :cheers:

You can allways move here, and you will be a part of it! :D

I think I saw some preperations going on here now. They probably need to do some more groundwork before the steel comes in August.

New crane beeing mounted right now!

Picture tomorrow:),

Such a tease ...

As promised:

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o309/IceCheese/20110618_002.jpg

Still no mounting, though...

edit: sorry about the size. Apparantly photobucket doesn't scale when you do cell-phone uploads...

Thanks for the update. When is it expected to be completed? I'm looking forward to it.

Which one of these two renders represent the final design?

Which one of these two renders represent the final design?

I can't see any difference.

The first floor with cladding (third actual floor) is pulled back from allmenningen in the first render and not in the second.

^^Then I think the first on is the real one. Visma and Isfjellet will create a symmetircal portal to Stasjonsalmenningen.

^^ Thanks. I was hoping that would be case.

When is it expected to be completed :)

By the end of 2013.

^^ Thanks. Would it be worth mentioning it in the op?

Me like!!

Even though I still very much like this building, I can't help but think of what it could have been if not confined to the rules of Barcode. It could and should have been much more daring.

Another missed oppurtunity for Oslo and the country for some truly spectacular architecture.

Who knows, maybe Snøhetta will use the original design on another project in the city/country. Personally I'm a bigger fan of the current design so for me it don't matter that much.

Is this a piece of the facade/cladding, standing on the plot?

http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k439/marshol/P7301585.jpg?t=1312070609

^^Looks like it, doesn't it? The left piece is showing us it's inside, though. You should've captured it from south instead...

Nah, it was blocked from south.

Btw, a few steel parts has arrived, lying on the plot, I noticed today.

Officially rising! Finally :cheers:
That gap was a bit annoying.

:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

But god damn it gets dark fast ... Or you must have an impressive blitz.

Edit: Will Isfjellet have a core?

MAD tower is also climbing. You didn't capture it, Mar?

^^ No newer than those from saturday.

Not good enough:ohno: They are actually outdated, you know...
