PROJECT | Logo Tower | 76m | 24fl | Never Built

***Þróndeimr*** · December 1st, 2007, 12:56 PM

Logo Tower

Logo Tower is a 3 900m2 large, 76m tall residential and commercial building at Gullhaug Torg, Nydalen. The tower is designed
as a slick and "monolithic" precise column, rising from a low pavilion and is conceived entirely in glass. Moveable panels and
coloured lighting are to give variation in the tower's appearance in the townscape and help establish it as a symbol of a new,
dynamic part of Oslo. Kristian Jarmund Architects is the architect of the project which is planned to start construction in
late 2011 with completion in early 2013.

2012: Developers cancel project simply because its not profitable to built the tower with such a few numbers of apartments.

It does, perhaps that is because the building is designed quite thin, with small floor space.

Ton-Tille · December 1st, 2007, 05:34 PM

looking great! It really does look taller than 78m

The Logo Tower is planned to have only one apartment per floor.

Hmm...interesting. How many sq metres?

Ugly colours!

Ingenioren · February 6th, 2008, 02:45 PM

120m2, this might get build, at least it's not in conflict with the oslo high-rise plans and it would be a great landmark.

Seems like some people are jealous

Why do they care??? So what if some people are rich, its not like rest of the norwegians are poor!!!

It seems they now have run out of nimby arguments, and they try to make it into a moral debate

I love the Tower because it looks Strange and Unique.

So we will finally get a verdict, i don't have the paper - but maybe it will be treated in Byutviklingskomiteen 1. April. And no one will believe it when it gets approved

mjoks007 · March 26th, 2009, 03:08 PM

I dont understand. Why not both O.o ? Square and building...

Ingenioren · March 26th, 2009, 05:29 PM

Well, they want a bigger square and no building, you see in the renders it's taking up 1/3 of the room there, but then again that space is only used for parking at the moment as most of Nydalens available space... (Looks like shit!) I think i heard someone had a plan of turning it all into parks tough... (Not this area, but other areas in Nydalen)

IceCheese · March 26th, 2009, 08:28 PM

I guess open areas give more votes?

Spearman · March 26th, 2009, 11:40 PM

We all know that SV are notorious NIMBYs and Ap, well, who knows what they believe. They were all hard-core NIMBYs against Barcode, until they suddenly understood that one 42 story tower blocks much less than many middle size towers. And then they changed again.

So they will say something just to make people aware that they are there. Nothing else.

Ingenioren · March 27th, 2009, 09:39 AM

I guess so, but venstre is very nimby aswell... Remember it was SV who finally got Barcode approved....

Ingenioren · April 3rd, 2009, 08:39 AM

I was a bit fast in the trigger there when i said 1. april. Jokes on me! It turns out it will go down this way:

-First it has to be treated by the city-government who will make a statement.
-Then it will be turned over to the commite of development for a vote.
-Then the city council will vote. (They are the ones with the real power.) - Hopefully this will happend this year.
-Then nimbys will find all sorts of loopholes and complain, these will have to be treated aswell.
-Then they will have to file for a construction permit.
-Then nimbys will find loopholes and complain again...
-Then Avantor just have to sell the appartments with profit.
-And this will be U/C in a few years if we are lucky! Maybe spring 2011?

Nydalen made a paper distributed with Aften yesterday, it's also available online:
http://k.aftenposten.no/bilag/ap09/Avantor/uke14/02Apr
No mention of the light-installation, i hope they didn't drop it. But i'm afraid they did, or will do as buyers will probably be sceptical....

Nice! Do you know/have any information about the new projects on page 11 (top corner)?

OT: Are there a defined date when "byblikk" get released?

kjetilab · April 3rd, 2009, 07:07 PM

If the nimby's can complain about it, then we can give our praises. If there is a upcoming høringsrunde.
