9 photo: MAD arkitekter v/kurt Singstad photo: MAD arkitekter v/kurt Singstad The MAD peloton Dronning Eufemias gate Oslo The challenge was extreme: What to do with an urban space which is 10 x 90 metres in area, with minimal sunlight and a requirement of 200 bicycle parking places? This strip of city floor should give pedestrians (and cyclists!) a pleasant experience and, at the same time, provide a suitable entrance to the commercial areas on ground floor level The solution was to give the entire stripe a bicycle theme MAD created a new bike stand, the MAD Bike These stylized "bicycles" in stainless steel provide safe bicycle parking and simultaneously create an interesting visual and spatial impression The bicycle lights were an essential factor - they would give a unique experience and galvanise the concept in this singular urban space 2013 Landscape designer Lighting designer Client MAD Grindaker as ÅF Lighting OSU MAD photo: MAD arkitekter v/kurt Singstad Just a few hundred meters away from Oslos main railroad, airportexpress and bus station 9

13 photo: Jiri Havran MAD Bygget Wismargata Oslo The master plan developed for the Opera Quarter is a result of an international competition held in 2003, where the Barcode concept by MVRDV, A-lab and DARK Arkitekter was selected Demands were set for the volumes to stretch the full length of the site, have rectangular forms and hold uniform material expressions The building blocks come down to form an exterior grid of public passages At street level, program organization aims to work with the overall intentions for urban life and public interaction, as shops, service and offices gives something back to the city Asking for an exceptional outcome is the site segment occupied by MAD's residential building: less than 30 meters wide and flanked by high-rise office buildings with dark façade appearances Daylight coverage from Southeast is secured, however, by the stepped volume of the neighboring building east from the apartments Regulations specify demands related to the distance between apartment windows and neighboring buildings, MAD Nazar photo: Jiri Havran 13
