In Oslo, Norway, you’ll find the ambitious Bjørvika Barcode project: a collection of 12 narrow high-rise buildings that together resemble a barcode. It is a mixed use development that accommodates both commercial and housing stock throughout its 150 000m2surface area.
Location within this group of modernist structures sits The Carve. The first 8 floors of this building are occupied by office space and the remaining 7 by a set of cascading, tiered apartments. They surround a central terrace which appears to have been carved straight out of the heart of the complex.
This emblematic terrace forms a physical barrier between the office space below and the residential apartments above. The NATURCLAD-W wooden panels which adorn both the terrace’s soffits and walls and the stepped façade on the outside accentuate the contrast between the spaces. They provide the building with a warm, natural feel as well as providing insulation against the cold Oslo weather.
在挪威奥斯陆，坐落着雄心勃勃的 Bjørvika Barcode 项目：12 栋狭窄的高层建筑组合在一起，形似条形码。这是一个混合用途开发项目，在 150,000 平方米的面积内容纳了商业与住宅。
The Carve 就位于这组现代主义结构之中：建筑底部 8 层为办公空间，其余 7 层是一组层层退台的瀑布式公寓，环绕着一个仿佛从建筑核心「雕琢」而出的中央露台。
这个标志性露台在下方办公空间与上方住宅公寓之间形成物理屏障。装点露台吊顶与墙面以及外部退台立面的 NATURCLAD-W 木纹面板，强化了两种空间之间的对比，为建筑带来温暖自然的质感，同时隔绝奥斯陆的严寒。
