Site progress on Gothenburg Grand Central

Site visit unveils primary structure at Gothenburg Grand Central

This video from the construction site showcases in situ cast arches using eco-concrete made with slag from the steel industry. The structure is a hybrid of eco-concrete and CLT. The choice of material reflects the client, Jernhusen's, ambition to achieve BREEAM Outstanding certification for the project while managing tight structural requirements due to the underground train tunnel.

The arches serve as architectural elements both in the exterior facade and in the interior spaces. Spanning up to 25 meters, they distribute the building weight to points on either side of an underlying railway tunnel. To minimize CO2 emission, the building has been designed consistently with sustainable materials from early phase.

The building is constructed with:
- 100% reused brick facade, more precisely 524,000 pcs.
- Eco-concrete produced with slag from steel industry
- Minimized steel structure by using CLT
- 24 ton recycled steel and 19 ton Zero-steel
- More than 80% of the facade glass in recycled glass
- 100% re-used cable ladders
- 50% re-used ventilation pipes

Gothenburg Grand Central Station is expected to open in late 2026.

Competition win in Fanø, Denmark

We are thrilled to announce that our proposal, in collaboration with LYTT Architectes, won the competition for a new hotel resort on the island of Fanø in Denmark.

Nestled amidst the dunes and surrounded by the stunning natural landscape, the hotel offers an immersive experience that connects guests to the beauty of the sea. Its location, combined with the Strandtorvet local shop, lays the foundation for a new village center that seamlessly integrates with the local environment.

The freestanding lodges, placed with an organic, seemingly random arrangement, blend naturally with the surrounding summer houses and the dune landscape, reinforcing the sense of harmony between the resort and its setting.

We are excited to bring this vision to life and contribute to the continuing transformation of Fanø's vibrant coastal community!

Competition win in Val d’Isère, France

Team Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter together with Odile+Guzy and co-contractors, are the winners of the competition to design Val d’Isère's new destination building for leisure and sports in France.

In the heart of the renowned village of Val d'Isère, Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter in collaboration with Odile + Guzy Architectes has designed la Maison des Avalins, set to operate as the cornerstone of the community. While offering a new year-round destination for both locals and visitors, this resort respects and honors the existing village of Val d’Isère. With its clear and refined lines, the building’s silhouette will rise gracefully against the backdrop of the Alpine ranges, not only embracing but also enhancing the landscape.

Drawing inspiration from a rich palette of architectural principles, the project integrates spatial design, aesthetic expression, and functional efficiency. Uniting a complex program of public spaces, sports facilities, and commercial space in one compact building, it seamlessly blends into its majestic environment while prioritizing user-friendly spaces that cater to a diverse range of needs. During the summer, stone steps that naturally blend with the terrain will lead into the heart of the building – but visitors can easily find access to the public entrance all year round.

More than just a building, la Maison des Avalins is designed to be a cultural landmark, where sport, history, tradition, and community converge.

The project has been developed by the Oslo studio of Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter in collaboration with the Paris-based Odile+Guzy architectes, as well as a qualified team of French engineers and co-contractors.

The construction of the building is set to start mid-2025 and is to be completed in time for the 2028 ski season.
