Nationaltheatret was opened in 1899. It is one of Norway’s largest and most important theatres.
Certain design features of the existing building limit its use as modern performance space. Furthermore the management requires additional performance spaces.
Nationaltheatret is investigating the possibility of modifying the existing building as well as building a new venue next to the existing building.
We were commissioned to evaluate the theatre’s current stage layout and to develop a concept for the renovation as well as for two new venues to provide modern performing spaces with more flexibility than the existing venue.
