Valeria Silva — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000

KA13 is located in central Oslo. A formerly dilapidated building has become a bright and fully revitalized, modern office- and coworking space. The project consists of two parts: rehabilitation of the existing building and a new extension, as well as upgraded technical facilities. The extension is predominantly made from a wide range of reused building materials, sourced from different construction sites around Norway.

The existing building at St. Olavs plass 5 was built for Oslo Helseråd in 1968-1969. Designed by architect Erling Viksjø, the building has a triangular footprint and is situated on a site which slopes down from St. Olavs plass in the north to Pilestredet in the south.

Pir Ålesund Office Building / Mad arkitekter

Andreas Luco — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Pir is located on the harbour front of Ålesund, Norway. In 1904 the town was devasted by fire, destroying nearly all the historical wooden buildings. The city was rebuilt over the next three years with stone and brick in the Art Nouveau style, resulting in the town today having a homogeneous architecture.

Nygaard Square Renovation / Mad arkitekter

Andreas Luco — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000

“Nygaard Square” was once the backyard of a city block in Fredrikstad, Norway, surrounded by quaint townhouses. Between the houses were spaces teaming with life; children playing, livestock, and meeting places for friendly neighbours. During the 1970s many of these houses were demolished to make way for four-storey office buildings and an underground car park with Nygaardsplassen established on top. The office buildings featured an intricate, post-modern architectural style including arcades towards the new square. In urban terms, Nygaardsplassen was not a success and later adopted the nickname “The Dead Square”. Shopping Centre Zoning A new planning regulation for the square was agreed in 2012, outlining plans for a 4-6 storey shopping centre.

Sørenga Block 6 / Mad arkitekter

Cristobal Rojas — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 03:00:00 +0000

The Sørenga quay was until recently a container port in the eastern harbor of Oslo, near the medieval town. The redevelopment of Sørenga is part of the city’s major plans of reconnecting the city to the waterfront. While the Barcode and Tjuvholmen projects are extensions of the existing city structure, Sørenga is at the tip of what will be an entirely new district in Oslo, also comprising the Bispevika area which is still in its planning phase. The eight blocks on the Sørenga quay were planned by four architecture firms, and Block 6 is the most recent of the two blocks designed by Mad arkitekter.

New Tryvann Tower Proposal / MAD Arkitekter

Alison Furuto — Thu, 30 May 2013 01:00:00 +0000

With a unique, prominent position in the urban landscape of Oslo, the Tryvann Tower is an existing TV transmission tower high up on the forested hills surrounding the city. Launching the idea of developing a new Tryvann Tower, MAD Arkitekter envisioned a tower with an elegant and bold design, placed in the same position as today’s tower. The new Tryvann Tower would be both higher and more spacious, giving increased room for a public program. More images and architects’ description after the break.

Alison Furuto — Sun, 26 May 2013 01:00:00 +0000

MAD Arkitekter, in collaboration with developer Entra, have developed a project for the relocation of the University of Oslo’s Faculty of Law. The project site and the historical university buildings are on opposite sides of the urban square, Tullinløkka, and a historical building on the site will also be preserved. The new university buildings for UIO are given a compact form, with frontage towards Tullinløkka as well as an iconic expression which takes a position in the cityscape.

Situation

MAD building / MAD arkitekter

Diego Hernández — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 01:00:00 +0000

Nothing spurs creativity as tight restrictions. And you don’t get them much tighter than an 11 meter wide footprint for a 15 story housing block. Add two towering, 16 story-buildings as next-door neighbors, and it is obvious that something extraordinary had to be invented in order to make this work.
