The charging park design consists of easily recognizable details and elements that can be adapted to different geographical locations and sizes.

The simple composition of a green roof, service buildings, the driving surface, and the surrounding landscape creates a clear but deliberately quiet humble identity.

The non-iconic approach to the architecture communicates both the client’s values and the goal of lowering the park’s carbon footprint through design for disassembly and by carefully choosing the right materials.

The simple design consists of a meticulously detailed wooden structure with visible mechanical details, an experiential landscape project, and green roofs.

The landscape is a central part of the identity of a Norlys charging park. Asphalt is replaced by warm brick tones in changing patterns that guide visitors around the site.

Green elements, varied vegetation, large trees, and scenic routes emphasize the intention to offer a whole new experience while charging.
