Surface: 2000sqm²
Status: Ongoing

Agentgaten 2 in Fredrikstad is currently perceived as a less attractive building with limited commercial activity. In order to meet today's visions and requirements, a comprehensive redevelopment plan has been drawn up for the building.

The façade of the building will have large windows and warm wooden materials, which will continue into the courtyard via a new passage. The passage will create a pedestrian axis between Olaf M. Holwechs Gate and Agentgate, connecting Nygaardsplassen, Storgaten and Hans Nilsen Hauges plass.

The courtyard will be converted from a car park into a public outdoor recreation area with green and pleasant terraces for residents and the general public. The apartments will have private balconies overlooking the courtyard and French balconies overlooking the Agentgaten. They will also have access to communal outdoor areas in the courtyard and a small roof terrace on the second floor.

The ground floor will have timber cladding and timber frames for doors and windows, while the upper floors will have through plaster and painted profiles to match the neighbouring buildings. The top floor will have a recessed zinc mansard roof that will turn grey over time to match the nearby slate roof.
