Skøyen Station
Oslo, Norway

Gottlieb Paludan Architects, in collaboration with L2 Arkitekter, has won the competition to design Skøyen Station on the Fornebu Line in Oslo.

Skøyen station is part of a larger traffic hub where the metro station is connected to an existing station. Optimal connections are created between trains, subways and other modes of transport, including 1000 underground bicycle parking spaces as part of the new station.

A modern interpretation of traditional Norwegian materials

The station is spread over four levels and is inspired by the existing station's traditional Norwegian materials, wood and slate, which will be updated in the new underground version. All four levels are united by one element; the wall, the railway embankment, which carries the long-distance train column and is visible in the cityscape on both sides of the bridge. The wall is therefore Skøyen's most important architectural element. The efficient underground station is integrated into Skøyen's diverse and complex traffic offer, with both public transport and well-functioning car and bicycle traffic. The asymmetrical station space has great architectural strength and supports wayfinding that creates an uncomplicated flow.
