Overview

This large, unorthodox office complex served the telecommunications giant, Telenor ASA, in a suburban setting just outside the City of Oslo, Norway. The Norwegian architect Peter C. Pran led NBBJ's design efforts on this energy-efficient, high-tech ensemble of builidngs. Telenor was owned by the government of Norway.
