After a competition between 40 different projects, a-lab has been commissioned to further their design for the StatoilHydro Oslo offi ce. The building will replace a rundown parking house which served the old airport outside Oslo. The design of the building refl ects StatoilHydro as an international and dynamic company with approximately 30.000 employees in 40 countries. The new Oslo headquarter building brings together two previously separated buildings, opening up more effi cient communication, and reducing the need for cross-town courier services. The building’s interior climate will be controlled by district heating and cooling, an energy- and cost effi cient method that reduces wasted heating power, and can reach a large amount of space.
