Snohetta
Islands and soft transitions will strengthen biodiversity and provide the city with new areas for recreation and experiences.
On a 17,700 sqm plot directly beside the river, north of the newly refurbished train station, Snøhetta envisions designing an entirely new urban development that reconnects the city of Drammen with the water. The plan seeks to restore the soft riverbanks, along with islands and canals that once extended into the urban fabric and surrounding landscape.
By laying a green blanket across the entire site and reintroducing islands and soft transitions, the design opens the area to recreation and experiences accessible to all, while increasing the green share of the site from 4% to a full 70%.
