The Stavanger Office presents a canvas for architectural innovation within the bustling landscape of Forus. With its concrete structures providing a raw and dynamic framework, our design vision aims to reimagine this space as a beacon of modernity and functionality. Central to our design concept is the seamless integration of raw materials and sleek finishes, creating a space that is both rugged and refined. Concrete structures form the backbone of the design, complemented by wooden and steel accents that add depth and character to the environment. The focal point of each floor is the staircase, designed to draw attention and serve as a visual anchor.

The office layout is carefully curated to maximize connectivity and productivity, with twostory spaces seamlessly blended together through strategically placed openings in the floors. Sound-dampening structures are incorporated to minimize noise disturbance, ensuring a conducive work environment. Offices are oriented towards the north to minimize glare, while meeting points and relaxation zones are strategically positioned throughout the space to encourage collaboration and rejuvenation. The use of concrete, wood, and steel in the detailing adds texture and visual interest to the space, while smooth walls are adorned with sound-dampening structures to enhance acoustics. Uplight fixtures illuminate the space, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that fosters creativity and focus. The juxtaposition of raw and refined materials creates a modern aesthetic that reflects the dynamic nature of the office environment.

Our visualizations offer a glimpse into the potential of this modern office space, showcasing the interplay of light and shadow, the texture of materials, and the flow of space. Through meticulously crafted renderings, viewers can envision themselves immersed in a vibrant and productive work environment that embraces innovation and collaboration.

The Forus Office represents a bold reimagining of the traditional office space, blending raw materials with sleek finishes to create a modern and inviting workplace. With its thoughtful design and strategic layout, this project sets a new standard for contemporary office environments in Stavanger.
