We are very happy to share that we, together with Norconsult and Nordic Office of Architecture, have won the Filipstad Framework Plan – Oslo’s last major city development area.
The Filipstad Framework Plan involves the planning of infrastructure, mobility, and the green-blue structures of the new neighborhood.
Covering an area of 320,000 m2, the ambition is to transform the current industrial area into 3,000 new homes, 9,000 jobs, and a plethora of green and climate-resilient public spaces, including a 41,000 m2 public beach park, connecting Oslo to the fjord.
“In Filipstad, we will put nature first by designing a comprehensive blue-green structure that secures the area against flooding and torrential rain and optimizes the neighborhood with regards to microclimate, urban heat islands, and biodiversity. The aim is to make Filipstad a special place in Oslo with close contact to the fjord, an active public life, strong social communities, and true life-quality for all.”
— Kjersti Wikstrøm, SLA Norway Managing Director
The Filipstad Framwork Plan will be designed according to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and FutureBuilt’s sustainability criteria.
SLA has been involved in the development of Oslo’s harbor front for almost 20 years, beginning with the overall plan for Bjørvika’s public spaces in 2005 and the subsequent design of all the neighborhood’s green-blue allmenninger (commons).
