DnB NOR Bygg A Dronning Eufemias gate 25 0191 Oslo Bygg A is the main building in the DnB NOR clauster Its a pixelated building, designed by MVRDV The project aims to create synergy and identity for the firm translating social and democratic culture into the design and making the space an enviable working facility MVRDV's building is conceived as a steel?rack? which permits adaptation to the flexible nature of the organisation The steel rack is wrapped in a stone skin, which adopts Norwegian environmental standards It appears as a rock, a strong shape within the boundaries of the Barcode The niches of this rock provide space for vegetation growth: the positioning of the pixels creates roof gardens or outside areas for every floor At street level the building volume is opened by sheltered entrance zones, and intersected by a public passage leading to the Oslo Central Station The pixelated design allows this specific response whilst being highly efficient and flexible 2013 MVRDV http://wwwmimoaeu/users/marcosvh/guides/oslo/ 8
