Støperiet, a part of Aker Brygge, is located in a former industrial area that is now known for its modern architecture and vibrant urban environment by the sea. The building has a history from Aker Mekaniske Verksted, which operated here from the 19th century until it closed in 1982. After the closure, the area was transformed into one of Oslo's most attractive locations, featuring offices, shops, restaurants, and cultural venues.
Aker Brygge and Støperiet now represent a blend of historic industrial architecture and modern urban development. The buildings in the area have undergone several transformations, including a focus on activating the surrounding streets by opening up the facades to the public and creating more dynamic urban spaces.
Støperiet is part of a larger revitalization plan that aims to combine office spaces with a vibrant commercial environment, including restaurants, shops, cultural venues, and street-level activities. This makes the building a central part of urban life at Aker Brygge, while also honoring the area's industrial heritage.
