From the jury: General remarks Using culture as a driving force to develop the city of Trondheim in a northerly direction appears reasonable. Cultural programmes are already in place at the site, as well as interesting heritage from WWII. The competitors were asked to develop an urban strategy for the large Nyhavna area, an art hall (Kulimathule) and a proposal for a small mixed-use project for Strandveien 27. The urban plan offers a challenge in its variations of scale and programme. The historic, robust and monumental wartime relic Dora I, stands in stark contrast to the seemingly fragile and varied composition of Svartlamon. In between these urban components is a former industrial harbour landscape in transition – shifting programmatic uses and in need of an infrastructural redevelopment. The jury was looking for proposals with a clear implementation strategy that demonstrated an understanding of the place and its context. The resulting plans were to be designed with an emphasis on the openness of the space as a field for spatial interventions and programmatic insertions. Some of the proposals were able to capture a sense of beauty in the roughness of the harbour landscape without erasing the existing fabric. They saw the potential of the site in its current state of hard dereliction. Through subtle insertions of temporal or sequential character, they aimed at strengthening the existing urban growth and cultural use of the area. Nevertheless, the jury found inconsistency in the design level of the landscape, and that the plans were generally insufficient in design in relation to the Strandveien building assignment of the project. In dealing with large scale urban projects, many important issues need to be considered and clarified prior to establishing a new plan for the area, such as the future relation to the city centre and effective traffic management. The unclear design brief, in combination with the significant scale difference between the two parts of the project unfortunately resulted in weak and incomplete urban proposals for the Dora area. The site included a series of complex issues, including a partial disconnect to adjacent areas due to infrastructural elements on the borders of the site. Proposals had to assess the spatial connectivity to the larger harbour area, as well as take into account further urban development of the city of Trondheim. The harbour area serves as a potential site for the development of the Kultimathule cultural programme, which could develop alongside the existing cultural activities on site. However, an increased urban programme would have to comply with the wishes of the Svartlamon community to remain in urban seclusion. After a thorough discussion, the jury decided they would assess the competition entries based on their proposals for Strandveien 27, and continue the ongoing process of rearranging the area into a sustainable and attractive part of Trondheim. Winner: Proscenium (EU 031) For the building site at Strandveien 27, the project Proscenium proposed a permeable building with a public passage. A ramp connects the different levels of Strandveien and Jernbanegata. Inside the porous structure, the ramp gives access to a public courtyard with a small gallery, a café and a balcony for visual connection to Strandveien. All apartments are accessed via the courtyard as well. The strong contrast of the rather closed and brute outer façades, with the wooden and open inner façade, turns the courtyard into a surprising discovery at the core of the site. The jury granted the first prize to the proposal Proscenium for their negotiation with the challenges at hand: the long narrow site, the large amount of restrictions dictated by the surrounding housing blocks, the urban connections and the extension of the cultural programme . Their simple combination of a long public ramp and the inner courtyard is, in the jury’s opinion, the right approach for this site. The ramp provides access for pedestrians and cyclists, while the courtyard ends in an “urban balcony” with a view of Dora I and the surrounding harbour area. With spatial understanding, the project negotiates carefully the demands for programmatic density, public permeability and natural light for the private homes on the narrow site. It concludes with a solid proposal that offers sculptural and spatial qualities. Connecting the existing multipurpose space to the new public programme on the ground floor is a good approach, however, the jury finds the spatial connection to the programme situated on the first floor (including the courtyard), to be lacking. The outer façade and the layout of the apartments should be further developed to improve the quality of the project.

Strandveien 27

Central to the project’s conception is the optimal organisation of the program in response to the tacit restrictions imposed by the long, narrow geometry of the site. Filling the site solid with development, the residential uses naturally gravitate to the boundary in search of light and the public uses consolidate at the centre of the site. This public core is realized as void space – a hollowing out of the solid site extrusion, to create a central court. The deliberate positioning of public uses and space at the centre of the site transgresses the typical model of mixed use buildings (cultural and commercial uses at ground floor connected to the street with housing above) and embeds it in the heart of the project, forcing direct connection and relationship to all the residences of the development. This is representative of the ambition for the entire area whereby cultural and public uses serve as the main driver of regeneration and development. The building site at Strandveien 27 offers a narrow vacancy in a line of residential buildings. The adjacent buildings are typical 4 storey apartment buildings with commercial uses on the ground floor. The proposal respects the scale and height of the surrounding context. Towards the south, the building steps down in height to only two storeys, to accommodate the windows of the neighbouring buildings. Towards north it becomes five floors high and acquires a visual relationship with Dora I and other big scale structures of the port.

The two street facades are made from a rough textured concrete, creating a visual connection with Dora 1 and relating to the rendered masonry facades of the neighbouring buildings. The fenestration is derived from the scale and rhythm of the existing apartments along Strandveien.

In contrast to the street expression, the interior façade of the public courtyard is comprised of a variety of timbers. All the surfaces of the public zones, horizontal and vertical, are clad in recycled timber boards creating a unified surface. The residential facades are made from a square grid of timber frame windows. The change in scale, colour and transparency differentiates these facades from the public areas. The use of timber for all the window framing ensures the optimal thermal insulation necessary in the challenging climate of Trondheim.

Public Court A generous semi-open, public courtyard, accessed from the public passageway, is conceived as a space to for regularly hosting events, exhibitions and performances. This space serves as the foyer for the building and guarantees the exciting character that the combination of public passage way, cultural program and actual living in the building will encompass. A tree at the centre of the courtyard continues the green corridor of the area and enhances the outdoor character of this lively event space.

Ramp The three metre level change across the site is accommodated and capitalized upon by a generous ramp that acts as a pedestrian and bicycle connection from Strandveien to Jernbanegata through the site. This public treatment of the ground level acts as an extension of the sunken plaza in front of Dora 1 and establishes it as a public space in the collective conscious of the area. Ground floor Both ground floor and basement of the building are used for cultural uses that attract attention and invite people into the site. The Verkstedshallen performance hall program is accommodated in the basement and ground floor of the development, with a direct connection between the two sites at the ground level. The remaining ground floor area is an exhibition space with street frontage on Strandveien. There is the potential for the Verkstedshallen performance hall and exhibition spaces to be merged for mutually compatible events.

The open space at the south of the site is carefully landscaped with local species to provide a pleasant outlook for the apartments and serves as a reception space for the public passage way through the site.

The courtyard doubles the opportunity for orientation to the south and allows for apartments with dual orientation, dramatically improving the quality of internal spaces and facilitating cross ventilation for sustainable housing solutions. Roof terraces, the public courtyard and garden area to the south, ensure that all the apartments have close access to open space.

Apartments Encompassing the courtyard are apartments suitable for a diverse range of people. The apartments incorporate a variety of types with flexible arrangements and partitioning to allow for different configurations and all apartments are accessible by lift. Bedrooms and living spaces are deliberately arranged to allow for secondary spaces such as studies or studio space to appeal to the student and creative population of Trondheim. The apartments are kept to a modest size to ensure that they can be offered as more affordable housing.

This courtyard operates as a flexible room for the hosting of visual art and performances that could also be connected to the Verkstedshallen. At the northern end of the courtyard a café/ restaurant looks over Strandveien. On the opposite side, a small gallery space supports the cultural program of the courtyard and is an opportunity for exhibition of works by local artists.

Case C This case seems the most balanced. It offers a variety of sizes and types and the different zones respond to the context. We feel that somewhere from 20-22 apartments is appropriate for this site.
