Facilitation for Urban District with Transport Hub Development and Approximately 900 Homes

Zoning plan based on the winning proposal from a competition in 2001. The planning area covers 85 decares and is located along Ring 3 and the Oslo Metro Ring Line, which placed strong constraints on the planning approach for the new development. It is a complex situation involving noise-generating public traffic areas, designated conservation areas, a deck over Storo Metro Station, new connections between the inner and outer city, new links to the transport hub and station, new residential buildings requiring high living quality and noise protection for apartments and outdoor spaces, along with considerations related to existing building typologies and long-distance visual impact.
