Office Building in Kristiansand (NO) by Oslotre As

The commercial and office building in Kristiansand on the southern tip of Norway displays a striking character, most of all due to its exceptional timber facade. The load bearing structure of the building combines glued laminated timber posts and beams with concrete and cross laminated timber composite ceilings. This allows creating large spans and meeting requirements for fire safety and soundproofing.
