Statoil’s building, at Sandsli in Bergen, is intended to contribute to the further development of the company’s business plan by localising all operative units under one roof. Niels Torp Architects designed the new building and upgraded the existing premises, while IARK was interior designer for the user group. The total project area is 56.000m2 of which the new building comprises 25.000m2.
Statoil at Sandsli is the world’s largest operational centre for offshore oil and gas production. IARK’s primary brief was to organise the premises for interaction between different fields of expertise. After the company’s needs were defined, an extensive user process was carried out which resulted in precisely planned working areas for interdepartmental cooperation. Statoil took over the building in the Autumn of 2014.
