Lundin
From youth to maturity
Reception
Reception is clearly visible from street-level in Strandveien. Taut steel panels enclose an organic interior of oak louvres, where a coffee bar is also included.

Waiting area – coffee bar
Reception and coffee bar have an adjacent lounge area. The interactive installation ‘Breaking the Surface’, originally made for the ONS-fair 2014 is exhibited here.
Informal zones
Oil-treated steel, oak and leather are to be found in the coffee bar.
Informal zones
Each floor has its own coffee bar where employees from different departments can meet informally.
‘The Street’
The atrium between Strandveien 4 and 8 is fondly known as ‘The Street’. Lundin wished to see this space used for dining and informal meetings.
Canteen
Dark steel boxes mark the transition between canteen and ‘The Street’. The canteen is in number 8 where the facade is opened up to create contact with adjacent areas.
Canteen
Lundin’s colour-palette is inspired by Norwegian coastal landscape, and all textiles are given robust colour shades.
Meeting centre
Lundin required all internal and external meetings to be grouped on one floor. Ground floor near reception and coffee bar was the natural choice.
Meeting centre
‘Mingling’ area by the meeting centre.
Work zones
Lundin’s colour signature, orange, appears here and there in the office spaces.
Atrium
Significant architectural changes were made before Lundin took over the building: Stairs were clad with steel, facades completely renovated and painted, and an amphitheatre established along ‘The Street’. The ground floor, where the two buildings are joined together, has become Lundin’s main informal meeting place.
Entrance area
The entrance area is light and airy. Form, design and choice of materials reflect Lundin’s identity.
