2006

Tjuvholmen is a new cultural quarter located to the south-west of Oslo’s city centre. Integrating art and leisure, the complex combines the Astrup Fearnley Museum and an office building, with a new public sculpture park, swimming beach and waterside promenad. One of the most significant elements of this project is the huge glass roof that soars over the complex, linking the buildings together.
