A-lab architects is a renowned architectural firm based in Oslo, Norway, known for their exceptional expertise in rehabilitation projects. Recently, they have gained recognition for their outstanding work on Fabrikken, Urtekvartalet, one of Norway's most highly classified rehabilitation projects. This project has been hailed by the Norwegian Green Building Council as an exemplary model of sustainable design.

Originally intended to attain a BREEAM-NOR Very Good certification, Fabrikken surpassed expectations and achieved an Excellent certification with a remarkable score of 76. 8 percent, making it one of Norway's few rehabilitation projects to reach this level of recognition. Fabrikken, situated in Nordbygata, is a historic factory building that has been imaginatively repurposed to accommodate a vibrant community of creative students.

Urtekvartalet, the larger development featuring three buildings, including Fabrikken, Drivhuset, and Veksthuset, will become a new city block in the heart of Oslo. It will offer a wide array of amenities, such as a school for creative students from Høyskolen Kristiania, over a thousand modern workplaces, and a variety of businesses, restaurants, cafes, and shops on its vibrant ground floor. The project aims to create dynamic connections within the city and will feature lush green spaces.

Eiendomsspar, a prominent client, has entrusted A-lab architects with this transformative project, while the landscape architecture is being handled by Studio Oslo La. To learn more about A-lab and their impressive portfolio, visit their website: a-lab. no
