Happy Midsummer from us at Lindner Scandinavia!
2026-06-18We would like to take this opportunity to look back on a project we are still proud of – Sintef's headquarters in Oslo, which we completed four years ago.
The building, which dates back to the 1950s, was in dire need of renovation and our challenge was to renovate the facade while the staff continued to work inside the building throughout the project.
We solved this by dismantling the external Siporex cladding but leaving all windows in place until the new facade was installed and weatherproofed.
The project was supported by Enova and we landed on a UcW value of 0.4 W/m²K – better than the passive house standard. By using the existing structure instead of demolishing and building new, Sintef also achieved enormous CO² savings.
The pictures below show what it looked like before and after.
Thank you for a wonderful collaboration SINTEF, ELEMENT arkitekter AS & Byggimpuls as and others in the project! See more pictures at our Sintef site!
