That is really cool.

Facade is a bit dull, but still.

What's up with these random patches of greenery at the balconies?

That is really cool? To me it sort of speaks, "oh look, we've put in diagonal lines in the roofline, look how cool, original and not-square this is, really original" NOT! Sorry.........

It's almost an Escher!



now, THAT would have been interesting, if someone could really manage

Way to go! This is exactly what I'm talking about. Where did you get hold of these renderings, Ingenioren? Should I ask?

I love the design. It's supposed to be "blocks" and they are all supposed to be built in the same type of brick. Within the context of these restrictions I really like what MAD has designed here. One has to remember that this is first and foremost going to be a recreational- and living area. It's not supposed to house offices, and the design reflects this.

What I like best is the vastly increased use of glass compared to the other steps. It's going to give an increased aesthetic quality to the area, and I believe this is going to be the rule in the ongoing steps. That's good when having a terribly ugly building block no. 4 in mind. This- and the upcoming Brodtkorb-buildings are going to be beautiful elements in Fjordbyen I'm sure.

They will start the construction of building step 4 (the eyesore) in January.

The bridge is open now, in case some of you didn't know. We probably have to wait a few more weeks for the promenade.

Not sure if any of you have noticed the same as me, but it looks like step 3 is rising almost faster than step 2. That is a bit cool.

[bitoverflow]

The area has become more accessible. Today I was at least able to walk the road along "central park", reaching the end of step1 without being shot down.

In step1, I noticed that the open area in the middle felt really small. I imagine apartments facing only this, will feel really dark and claustrophobic. All steps at Sørenga have these "roman gardens". They all look big and shiny at the renderings, but not in real life.

What I really liked was the different levels on the whole area. The central park is one floor over the promenade. Looking forward to the the first canals with bridges.

I have also observed that the progress on step3 seem to be more ahead of step2. Seem like AF-Gruppen are pretty much on track, which is properly why they won the contract of step 4.

That's not good, I though the point was to have plenty of green spaces within the quarters. I like the look of the central "avenue" though, if done right it could prove to become one of the most attractive public spaces in town.
I'm really starting to like this project now, have the feeling it may turn out real good,

[starkwell]

not sure if these have been posted but they are on display on the 'path' to sørenga...

[starkwell]

and some proper pics, just mobile images i'm affraid and crazy low sun and mist made exposure super tricky....





take your pic of distraction - hand or lens flare....














never noticed the white balconies before....




and i'm not sure if it counts as sørenga thread, but here is the vast tract of land available for the rest of the development - i've lost track of what's going here....

Nope, I think they just mounted them last week, or the week before

Some day when Hav is done with Sørenga, Bispevika and other places they'll prioritize first, they'll start developing this area as well. It's also a part of Bjørvika fjordcity project It's regulated at up to 40 meters height, or 10-12 floors.

[Centra]

Does anyone know the expected completion date for area D1a and D2?

[IceCheese]

Nope. Time-estimates at this time are very inaccurate. Start is not expected till after 2013-4. It will most likely depend on how fast sales and development progress in Sørenga and Bispevika, is my guess. I wouldn't like to drag numbers out of air, but perhaps early 2016 is likely for finalization?

First inhabitants of Sørenga got their keys today

(well, not inhabitants, as they want to rent it out a few years first....BUT, I guess people are starting to move in now).

[marshol]

Important milestone.
