Aker Tech House

_{Oslo, Norway}

Rockfon Color-all ceiling tiles in the Mercury colour were selected for various spaces across the Aker Tech House multi-tenant office building. "The surface is slightly metallic and shiny and we think it gives a tech feel to the build. It's also darker and reflects less light than the standard white solution, which gives the ceiling a pleasant heaviness. It grants a certain calmness to the premises when compared to white ceilings," explains architect Fredrik Lyth.
