Apartment in Tjuvholmen / Oslo

Tjuvholmen / Oslo, Norway – What's exciting about this apartment in the new "in" district of Tjuvholmen in Oslo is not just the views over Oslo harbour from the many large windows but also its interior qualities: a large gas fireplace, two bedrooms with private bathrooms and elegant white parquet plank 1-strip floors from HARO. The quiet grain of the wood and the brushed white matt finish have a mellowing effect like the sun and sea air, which flood the 100 square metre apartment. This apartment is typical of other properties in the prestigious Tjuvholmen district, including apartments, restaurants and hotel rooms, which HARO's Norwegian partner has fitted with parquet floors from HARO. When the project reaches its final completion date at the end of 2014, some 50,000 square metres of different HARO plank 1-strip flooring will have been laid, including the wood types Oak Barrique, Oak Stone Grey and African Oak in addition to Oak Markant.

Nature inside and out
The modern corner apartment on the second floor of the apartment complex offers sea views from practically every room. A feeling of spaciousness is created thanks to the many large windows – from the floor to the living/dining area though to the two bedrooms. The outside and inside worlds merge almost seamlessly with each other. The plank 1-strip oak floors from HARO emphasise this impression with their 2.20 m long and 180 mm wide planks as well as attractive bevelled edges. The prime location directly overlooking Oslo harbour and top-class interior fittings of the apartment are complemented ideally by the top-quality floor installation. The planks have been glued down by professionals, while the Top Connect installation system allows quick and precision-fit installation.

Living & working by the sea and yet in the city
Oslo's new Tjuvholmen district is an exciting and at the same time quiet oasis by the sea. The area is characterised by its unique architecture and large open spaces. Its immediate closeness to nature and at the same time culture, trade and administrative centres makes Tjuvholmen the ideal location for anyone wanting to live by the sea – and yet in the heart of the city. An arts venue, sculpture park and even bathing facilities with promenade enhance the quality of life. A hotel and kindergarten were likewise completed at the end of 2013. This combination of nature and comfort can also be found in the HARO plank 1-strip floors: Quality made in Germany without compromise and excellent variety for meeting living needs in more than 90 countries around the globe.
