The Sørenga project is part of an 8 block / 900 unit development named Sørenga in the harbor area of Oslo. Sørenga consists of its own peninsula, and is part of the large Bjørvika development, that also includes the New Norwegian Opera building.

The site was used for harbor activities which is now relocated. A master plan by LPO Architects calls for 900 units divided into 8 blocks. Four different groups of architects have been chosen to design the individual blocks.

Block 3 is located at the east side of the peninsula, is about 14.500 m2 and includes 127 apartments, a kindergarden, a small commercial space and parking areas. The set-back rules of the zoning have been utilized to make a terraced and highly sculpted volumetric composition, providing for optimized sun and view conditions for all the apartments. The entire roof area is used as terraces.

The building has a perimeter block structure with a distinct outside and inside. The kindergarden is expressed as a volume on its own.
