Located in the heart of Fornebu, Norway, this sci-fi inpired structure is 65,500 square meters in size and features a 52,400 square meter underground garage complex. This dynamic corporate complex is a new home for 2500 of the company’s employees. After a 20 month construction period, this [futuristic workspace structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-zone) was completed in the autumn of 2012 and proved even more impressive than its initial design concept. From its [illuminated facade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-facade-house) to its geometry infused interior elements, the Statoil Regional and International Offices by A-Lab merge a striking exterior with a [boldly enclosed working environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rock-capital-warsaw-office) that rivals any other in the world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Workspace Design:** Creating office spaces with sci-fi inspired designs and innovative elements. - **Dynamic Corporate Complexes:** Developing multi-functional structures that can accommodate large numbers of employees and provide unique working environments. - **Geometry-infused Interiors:** Incorporating geometric shapes and patterns into interior design to create visually appealing and inspiring workspaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunity for architects and designers to push boundaries and create innovative office spaces with futuristic concepts. - **Construction and Real Estate:** Demand for constructing dynamic corporate complexes that can meet the needs of modern companies and their employees. - **Interior Design:** Growing market for interior designers who can create unique and visually appealing workspaces, integrating geometric elements in their designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Waterfront Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nderkleiva.md) - [Multifunctional Angled Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertikal-nydalen.md) - [Steel Structural Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylab-office.md) - [Pier-Side Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-hq.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Stacked Pebble-Inspired Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calais-port-tower.md) - [Contemporary Italian Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noa-office.md) - [Curved London Office Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/50-electric-boulevard.md) - [Sophisticated Government Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-government-office.md)
