Degree Show 2025

This studio project challenged us students to design an innovative Headquarters (HQ) building in Oslo’s Bjørvika district that reimagines future workplace environments. The building should feature a distinctive form with a civic street presence, flexible office layouts supporting hybrid work models, and public-facing spaces that enrich the urban fabric. Students must integrate sustainable practices, advanced materials, and technology while creating spaces that promote collaboration, focus work, and community engagement. The HQ should respond to Oslo’s growing demand for innovative office spaces that adapt to evolving business needs and new work models. The program includes “front of house” spaces (lobby, exhibitions, amenities), “main structure” areas (offices, labs, meeting rooms), “back of house” functions (administration, technical rooms), outdoor public spaces, and parking designed to align with reduced car dependency policies. Students will develop their projects through an iterative process of analysis, simulations, and design generation, building upon investigations from previous exercises. Introducing my cutting-edge design for a film and entertainment headquarters, a hub of creativity, innovation, and modern production capabilities. The building features an iconic exterior, with striking architecture that reflects the dynamism of the film industry. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a multimedia-rich lobby, showcasing interactive displays and digital screens that celebrate the company’s achievements. At the core of the headquarters are state-of-the-art production studios, including sound stages, green screen rooms, and motion capture facilities, alongside post-production suites for editing, sound mixing, and visual effects. Complementing these are private theatres and screening rooms, including an IMAX or Dolby Atmos option, allowing for high-end, immersive previews of new work.
