The hostel concept Nui from Japan has now established Nui Oslo in the heart of Grünerløkka. The word “Nui” means hand-sewing in Japanese and reflects the project’s architectural discourse between the program and the various physical elements; the existing buildings, the new additional buildings and the adjacent urban spaces. The project provides a variety of affordable “homes” away from home for all kinds of guests. In addition, the hostel features a food court, a cafe and a bar, a comic book library, and a gallery on the ground floor.
