Proposed for the southwest area of Leüthens, the project is entitled Leüthens Kulturhage, which translates as “Leüthen’s cultural garden”, and will also include a theatre and cinema.

Inside the office block, displaced floors accommodating meeting areas and balconies will overlook a large atrium that will face the new square.

With an innovative, open office building and a new cinema next to the city theatre, the project proposal titled ‘Leüthens Kulturhage’ – ‘Leüthen’s Cultural Garden’ – will bring new life to the area. The building will spearhead the development of green public buildings in Norway. Centered around a new square, the two buildings will create a common identity for the area and bring together the existing educational and cultural institutions.

A unanimous jury selected Henning Larsen Architects’ project as winner of the competition in which a number of Danish and Norwegian architecture studios participated. The jury emphasised the winning proposal’s use of the site potential and interaction with the city and surrounding buildings.
