NEW | Tre Taarn, Sandnes

Helen & Hard together with London based office DRMM is behind this project with Kruse Smith as the developer. The entire project consist of 122
apartments, where the first 33 apartments in Bygg A was put out on sale in May 2010. Bygg A is 11 floors tall and will be the first to be built. Bygg
B with 15 floors and Bygg C is not scheduled to start anytime before 2011/2012.

Due to the small site, different density options were studied. A series of workshops and a study trip to the Netherlands (where we analysed
residential tower typologies) were carried out. Inspired by Norwegian timber, the 'tree houses' are organised around a structural trunk with
projecting apartments lifted up from the ground to allow optimal views.

The main challenge for the design team was to orientate the apartments in the tower to relate to the genus loci, and to satisfy the stringent space
standards and the desire for precious sunlight. All apartments in the towers are designed with winter gardens - the rhythm for the facade. Only
south and southwest aspects for living spaces are permissable while sleeping zones form the north and north east of the building.

The free zone between the raised tower apartments offers fjord views through the development and gives space for a connecting green route
between the woods to the north and the existing buildings to the south of the site. The project includes a mix of uses, unit types and community
facilities with an agenda for social and energy sustainability.

Hardangerbrua

Hardanger Bridge is bridge under construction which will cross the Hardangerfjord in southwestern Norway. It will replace today's ferry connection.

The bridge will be about 1380 metres long, with a main span of 1310 meters. It will be a suspension bridge, one of the longest spans in the world.
The small difference between length and span is because the fjord quickly becomes very deep, so the towers is been built on land. close to the
fjord. Each tower will be 186m tall, been built on land they will reach 200m above the sea level. There will be 2 lanes for traffic and one lane for
bicycles and pedestrians. The sailing height under the bridge will be 55 m.

Due to very steep mountains on each side of the fjord the road have to run into a tunnel immediately after the bridge. There will be a 2.4km long
tunnel on the southern side, and a 800m long tunnel connecting to an existing 7.5km long tunnel on the northern side of the fjord. Construction
of these tunnels started in February 2009. The construction of the bridge itself will start in 2010 when the tunnels are completed. They hope to
have the bridge opened in the end of 2013.

Oslo Airport Gardermoen expansion

Oslo Airport Gardermoen is the principal airport serving the Norwegian capital city of Oslo. It was completed in 1998 and have a capacity of 17
million passangers a year. 2008 statistics shows that 19.4 million passangers went through the airport so there has been a urgent need of
expansion.

The new terminal will increase the airports capacity from 17 million to 35 million passengers a year. Its expected that the airport will grow larger
than Copenhagen Airport and become the largest airport in Scandinavia in term of passenger count. Final details about construction and design will
be announced in 2010.

Take to the waves

Alliance Arkitekter and MAPT select Kebony as wood substitute for conical restaurant.


This flowing Kebony-clad restaurant is the work of collaborating practices Alliance Arkitekter and MAPT (the latter now functions as two individual design studios) on the edge of the Oslo fjord, Norway. Taking pride of place on the water’s edge in the historic marina port of Aker Brygge, the high-end outlet takes its name from the Spanish term for wave, ‘Onda’.

Sustainability has taken a key role in the design and development of this project, with pioneering technologies such as cooled waste grinders implemented throughout the facility. A domineering feature in the sustainable design approach is the architects’ choice of materials, selecting Kebony’s environmentally-friendly, non-toxic alternative to traditional wood products for the external sweeping facades.

This single material choice has had a dramatic effect on the building’s sustainability levels, inserting a textile that is cleverly-suited to the chilly Norwegian climes. Kebony is durable, resistant to decay, easy to maintain, very cost effective, and in this case contrasts beautifully with the Onda restaurant’s sheer glass panels and galvanised steel gratings.

The basic form of the restaurant is split into four conical volumes which undulate down the Tingvalla Pier to the water’s edge. Each swell of the building is capped at a different slope and angle ‘to form an organic-looking exterior wave’ and collectively these peaks provide a physical manifestation of the restaurant’s name.

Jan Terje Nielsen, Director of Marketing for Kebony comments: “Onda is a very exciting addition to Oslo’s popular marina. We are delighted that Alliance Architects and MAPT chose Kebony’s innovative cladding product to envelop the magnificent exterior of this high-profile restaurant, not only making an important environmental stance but one based on both aesthetics and practicality.”
