OSLO OPERA HOUSE
by Snøhetta
Kirsten Flagstads Plass 1, 0150 Oslo, Norway
The centrepiece of the city's rapidly developing waterfront is the magnificent Opera House, considered one of the most iconic modern buildings of Scandinavia. Designed by Oslo-based architectural firm Snøhetta and and resembles a glacier floating in the waters of the Oslofjord.
Interior surfaces are covered in oak to bring warmth to spaces in contrast to the coolness of the white exterior.
A perforated wall panel which covers roof supports in the lobby was designed by Olafur Eliasson. It features hexagonal opening and is illuminated from below and behind to create the illusion of melting ice.
The building is covered in white granite and La Facciata, a white Italian carrara marble
