I like the second one.
FJORDCITY | Vippetangen
3
One of the final areas in the Fjordcity that will be developed is Vippetangen.
Today, Vippetangen is located directly south of Akershus fortress. It's the home of perhaps one of the most iconic buildings in the town when entered from the sea or south/east, namely the old grain silo. It is also a locality for different ferries and cruiseships, both local and international. Finally, you'll find the city's main fish-market here.
Vippetangen is perhaps one of the most difficult to develop, as different protective interests conflicts with both new buildings, but also a struggle to manage access to necessary harbour functions that will also have to be part of the finished development.
Formal planning for Vippetangen were initiated in 2011 when Plan- og bygningsetaten ordered a team to start investigating on different options for development. Both affected city agencies as well as the Oslo harbour authority were involved. The summer of 2013, this group announced an invited competition for a few architect teams. Their suggestions are to be revealed at an exhibition next week.
The three suggestions are based on three different approaches to development at Filipstad. The first is Vern (lit: "protection"),
Team: April Arkitekter AS, Lala Tøyen AS, Civitas AS, Mattias Ekman og Jon Benjamin Tallerås.
Second is Moderate,
Team: Superunion architects/ Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk AS, Studio HP, Buro Happold, Hovind og Odel.
And the final one is called Radikal,
Team: Tupelo Arkitektur, Dronninga Landskap, Vigdis Storsveen, Høyer Finseth og Rønnes rådgivning.
There are a few more sketches to be seen in this leaflet: http://www.prosjekt-fjordbyen.oslo....iler utlagte saker/2014/Vippetangbrosjyre.pdf
The project team is expected to choose a final premesis for developing Vippetangen based on all three suggestions. This could lead to a plan for regulation for Vippetangen. Most likely we're likely to wait quite a few years until we'll see any digging in this part of town.

^^ Thinking of Gamle Logen? I don't think that is suited for running a hotel. Most of the interior is taken by a scene.

The problem, and I have expressed this opinion before, is the military holding their sweaty fingers on the best location downtown Oslo. They should move out! Let people move in!Now all they need to do is bite the bullet and start using the buildings around akershus festning more viably - it's like a ghost town, that area around festningsplassen and the forsvarsdepartmentet. I could see that building in grev wedels plass becoming an amazing luxury hotel
