Oslo

An Urban Square that Retains Rainwater

Buildings and landscape were designed as one to open a new passage in central Oslo, where green areas help reduce cloudburst flooding.

A commercial development with offices and shops that became a public square, designed to give back to the city. Architecture and landscape form blend together to open a new passage connecting two key areas of central Oslo. Today the passage is a well-used shortcut and functions as a public square also. Green islands with integrated benches offer a place to pause and are strategically placed to capture rainwater and reduce the risk of cloudburst flooding.


This project was designed at SLA, where I led a team of talented landscape architects as project manager.
