Tårnet Kulturarena

Sustainable placemaking focusing on city life activity and culture 
Client: Oxer Eiendom | Year: 2018

Tårnet Kulturarena was developed on behalf of Oxer Real Estate (2016-2020) with a mission to create a culture center in the historic factory building Tårnet at Økern, Oslo. The goal was to build an active urban district, while making sure the history of the factories are preserved through use and activity.

The strategy was developed with four main goals: 1. transform Kabelgata into a vibrant and productive cultural center at Økern, 2. create a good city, ensure city-friendly business in the old factories, increase feelings of belongingness, make Kabelgata and Økern a more attractive place to live, 3. build a solid place identity, with a strategy that will strengthen the identity of area and Oslo in its entirety, and 4. give the cultural industry in Oslo the opportunity to grow and develop by using Tårnet as production area.
