Sommerrokvartalet

Our transformation of the historic Sommerrokvartal in the heart of Oslo has changed it into a multifunctional area with several recreative opportunities. Other than the new local hotel, providing outdoor serving and a green rooftop garden, the public of Frogner has received a new park and green public spaces connecting the entire neighborhood.

SLA did a series of site and urban space analyses as a basis for the landscape design and programming. The new climate-adapted urban space is designed and detailed according to SLA’s work with the zoning plan and local rainwater management with open flood roads as an integral part of the urban space design. Here, a central focus has been to make the aesthetic and recreational value of the water come into play. This you will, for example, experience through water mirrors and open water channels in connection with the areas for playing and resting.
