Korsvoll­hallen

To the delight for adults and chil­dren in Korsvoll near Oslo, a new local and long-awaited gath­er­ing place has opened. The house of almost 4,000 square meters is buzzing with life. There is both a sports hall, meet­ing facil­i­ties, an assem­bly room and a kinder­garten. It has been really excit­ing to be involved in creat­ing a place with many differ­ent options, users and needs.

The house has been designed so it fits well to the built-up area. It has a simple, modern and dark wooden facade. Inside, the char­ac­ter­is­tic load-bear­ing struc­ture in solid wood gives iden­tity to the building.

A good connec­tion has been created between the differ­ent func­tions of the house. In the kinder­garten, empha­sis is placed on a clear and flex­i­ble orga­ni­za­tion. You can screen off rooms and create differ­ent zones depend­ing on the activ­ity. The design takes into account the needs of both the chil­dren and the educa­tors, so that every­one has a safe every­day life.
