The Barcode Project is a row of tall, narrow buildings in Bjørvika, part of the Fjord City redevelopment of former dock land in central Oslo. Oslo S Utvikling AS is the developer. The 2003 general plan came from a competition won by Dark Architects, a-lab and MVRDV. Snøhetta designed the Deloitte building, a-lab the PwC building, and Solheim & Jacobsen the KLP building. The article says the project was completed in 2016.
Towers stand 230 to 266 feet (70 to 81 m) tall, with one planned near 328 feet (100 m). Gaps of at least 12 meters between them bring views and light. The plan calls for about 145,000 square meters of workspace and 12,000 square meters of retail. It names no style.
Digging uncovered at least nine wrecked ships, probably from the early 1500s, and about 1,100 artifacts. A 2007 petition drew over 30,000 signatures against the plan. The article gives no hours.
