We’re proud to reveal our proposal for the development of The Former Veterinary College at Adamstuen, Oslo!
We have, in collaboration with LPO, Grindaker, Bark and WSP worked towards transforming the area from a closed institution into a new and vibrant urban center. With a rich history, the heritage will be carefully managed to ensure it remains part of the area's identity, preserving the unique atmosphere of The Former Veterinary College.
Our vision combines urban growth in cohesion with nature, by preserving and expanding the existing green structures and densifying in already built-up areas. We aim to maintain biodiversity and integrate the former veterinary college into its context and close environment, creating a new communal garden for the neighborhood.
It will become an integrated part of the surrounding city, embracing the best of local traditions and elements. By preserving and transforming the buildings that can be preserved, and reusing materials from the ones that must be taken down, we are able to maintain the unique character of the place, allowing the history to be told through both the new and the old constructions.
Our plan focuses on creating an inclusive, active urban environment with amenities that support daily life, work, and recreation, making it possible for residents to enjoy the area fully. The "allmenning," a common public space, will become the heart of the urban development.
Designed for @Oslobygg KF and @Lindstow, our proposal will make The Former Veterinary College a warmer, greener, and more creative place, with more nature and more urban life.
Our project, along with the other proposals, will be displayed at The Former Veterinary College (Den Gamle Veterinærhøgskolen)! The exhibit opens Monday June 10th, and will be open until July 7th and again from the August 10th to 25th.
