NRK's New Headquarters: Arup and Partners Win Design Competition in Oslo

Arup, in collaboration with Nordic Office of Architecture and Rodeo Arkitekter, has won the design competition for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's (NRK) new headquarters in Oslo. The project involves designing 60,000m² of gross floor area and 50,000m² of utility floor area, with a focus on developing contemporary specialist spaces. The design features a four-storey base and a circular upper structure, reflecting NRK's brand through its distinctive form. The HQ is expected to accommodate evolving media production technologies and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration among the corporation's staff. Construction is anticipated to begin after the receipt of formal planning consent, with a goal to relocate to the new headquarters by 2029.
