A recessed ground floor constitutes the commercial level, with the five floors above dedicated to office spaces. The structure is composed of a mass <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\">timber<\/a><\/strong> construction with columns and beams made of glued laminated timber. The floors are constructed using a composite structure of CLT and concrete, creating a slim and efficient floor system that spans long distances while also addressing fire and acoustic requirements. Diagonals on the ground floor facilitate better vehicular access around the building. The existing communication core from adjacent building phases contributes to lateral stability and access to the office floors. Between the third and fourth floors, an atrium with an internal staircase made of masstimber has been introduced. Wood elements are prominently displayed in the interior, providing warmth in winter and cooling in summer.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyrresundal.no\/\">Kyrre Sundal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Green\u00a0Curved Pine Facade Defines Lumber 4 Office Building<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The facade is composed of prefabricated curved wooden elements in pine, treated with green paint. The eaves above the curved elements are straight, creating a curved shadow on the panel. Over time, the paint under the shadow will weather, leading to a changing facade with lighter and darker curved sections. For the insulation, Oslotre\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oslotre.no\/\">design team<\/a><\/strong> uses wood fiber throughout. The cladding consists of fire-treated pine. All load-bearing structures are exposed, and exterior walls are clad with white-pigmented spruce panels. Wood wool acoustic panels are used in concealed service areas and meeting rooms. Visible conduits are painted in a light beige color. The large floor-to-ceiling windows open up to the view and provide ample natural light. The construction of the building was completed in record time, with detailed planning and construction taking only 12 months. Lumber 4 demonstrates that it\u2019s possible to construct competitive timber buildings when compared to the same technical standard concrete and steel structures. The building was 90% leased upon completion. Oslotre served as the architect, interior architect, and timber structural engineer for the project.<\/p>\n<p>Lumber 4 by Oslotre Studio is a six-storey commercial and office building in Kristiansand, Norway<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the facade features prefabricated curved pine elements treated with green paint<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>straight eaves cast curved shadows that will gradually weather, creating a dynamic surface<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the structure is composed entirely of mass timber, with glulam columns and beams<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>diagonal supports at ground level improve vehicular access around the site<\/p>\n<p>exposed timber slats painted in light beige integrate into the material palette<\/p>\n<p>floors combine cross-laminated timber and concrete for strength, fire safety, and acoustic performance<\/p>\n<p>exposed timber interiors provide thermal comfort, cooling in summer and warmth in winter<\/p>\n<p>large floor-to-ceiling windows provide generous daylight and outward views<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>between the third and fourth floors, an atrium introduces natural light and vertical connection<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Lumber 4<br \/>\n<strong>architects:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oslotre.no\/\">Oslotre<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oslotre\/\">@oslotre<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>lead designers:<\/strong> J\u00f8rgen Tycho, Christoffer Imislund<\/p>\n<p><strong>client:<\/strong> Skeie Eiendom<\/p>\n<p><strong>area:<\/strong> 3890 sqm<\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Kristiansand, Norway<\/p>\n<p><strong>materials:<\/strong> CLT and Glulam construction<br \/>\n<strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyrresundal.no\/\">Kyrre Sundal<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kyrresu\">@kyrresu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><span class=\"s1\">DIY submissions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><span class=\"s1\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/green-timber-curves-rhythmic-facade-office-building-norway-kristiansand-lumber-4-oslotre-10-10-2025\/\">green timber curves sculpt rhythmic facade for office building in norway<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oslotre builds Six-Story Timber Office Building in Kristiansand \u00a0 Lumber 4 by Oslotre studio is a commercial and office building in Kristiansand, Norway, spanning six floors.
