"The building is based on the open office principle. The bosses sit closest to the core building, and the officials in the outer sector in one large room. In the middle is a conference room, canteen and dining room.

The round shape represents a very affordable solution, as the elements are mass-produced using a steel mold. The surface is aerated concrete. By sanding off the outer layer of concrete mud without getting down to the stone grains, you get a very robust and smooth surface. The wall itself is assembled from straight pieces; it is a light wooden wall with eternit parapet and steel plates on the inside to which the heating elements are attached. The glass is fixed in the top and bottom frame. There are only four opening windows on each floor, and only one aluminum clamping strip between the window units. The window construction is thus very reasonable.

Profilit glass is used on the lower floor. The entrance doors are made of tempered glass. The building is currently a combined office and industrial building. However, it is also calculated for the industrial production of electronic equipment. Therefore, it has been designed so that you can easily switch between office function and industrial use.

The construction cost was NOK 820/m² The building is approx. 4000 m."
