Oslo Havnelager
Havnelageret (also known as Oslo Havnelager), literal translation "The harbour warehouse", is a commercial building located at Langkaia 1 in Oslo, Norway. It houses Norwegian Defence Estates Agency as tenants. History The building was erected in the period 1916-20 and designed by architect Bredo Henrik Berntsen. Havnelageret was one of the results of the huge development of ship transport during and after the First World War. The construction of the building was a challenge with the technology available at the time, and with rising prices and wages during the First World War all price estimations were surpassed. From the original amount of 3.2 million Norwegian kroner, the final cost ended up at 9.3 million kroner. The construction of Havnelageret was complicated because the building had to be built on bedrock as a result of its large size. This bedrock lay 20 metres below ground level. The difficult base conditions delayed the construction process, but in 1920, Havnelageret w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
