Prosjektbeskrivelse

When the Selvaag Group relocated to new and modern premises at Silurveien 2, Oslo, IARK took care of the interior design, as well as assisting in user processes and preparations for the move. Our starting point was Selvaag’s solid history; from the Ekeberg house, the famous spiral stairway and Olav Selvaag himself to today’s Selvaag – both as a home builder and property and industrial developer. Design and detailing was characterized by the intention to make all the familiar solutions in new ways. By locating the whole group on the fourth and fifth floors, Selvaag planned to improve communication and to allow for synergy between the different companies. There was also a clear ambition to strengthen bonds to a common culture and background.

The final result is a project with strong links to the organisation’s core values – concern for others and creativity - where design and decoration reflect the company’s engagement in the arts and culture. In the central areas a lively colour palette varies from floor to floor, while all the working areas are given calm and neutral shades of beige and grey.
