Radiumhospitalet (Radium Hospital) is the latest of the four campuses at Oslo University Hospital.

To further develop treatment at the hospital, this purpose-built clinic and proton therapy centre was established, covering 36,000 m², making it the most specialised cancer hospital in Norway.

Momentum Arkitekter, a locally based architectural practice, designed and constructed the groundbreaking medical facility with a focus on well-being.

In consultation with hospital management, their Design Team opted for attractive colours, inspired by nature, distancing themselves from the commonplace white shades and unintentionally sterile appearance of such facilities.

The result was a broad palette that would enhance every room and function as a wayfinding system with clear zones across the large floor area.

To elevate this innovative design, selecting the perfect flooring was essential. Momentum Arkitektur therefore sought advice from Polyflor Nordic during the decision-making process.

Due to their practical, aesthetic, and sustainability benefits, Radiumhospitalet was specified to have a plethora of delightful shades from across six Polyflor flooring collections:

Classic Mystique PUR

Nut Husk (1570), Soft Almond (1560), Steel Parade (1550) & Amber Classic Oak (4087)

Palettone PUR

Dried Tarragon (8644), Earthenware (8641), Fired Ochre (8642), Garden Sage (8643), Aqua Pura (8651), Pennyroyal Mint (8652) & Urban Air (8605)

Palettone SD

Frosted Glass (8606SD)

OHMega EC

Tempest (6004), Thunderstorm (6002) & Warm Haze (6003)

Polysafe Verona PUR – Pure Colours

Rock Salt (5231)

Polyclad Pro PU

Grey Steel (4095)

The flooring preparation and installation were completed by To Malere Interiør & Vedlikehold AS, based in Oslo.

Radiumhospitalet now undertakes invaluable treatment and research around the clock within its new environment.

The array of colourful flooring designs from Polyflor contributes towards a positive atmosphere, creating an overall sense of security, tranquility, and hope.

“Polyflor Nordic was incredibly proud to work in conjunction with Radiumhospitalet on account of the incredible healthcare they provide, which is furthered by the important research undertaken on-site.
It was exciting to see a large selection of Polyflor collections utilised inventively across each floor of the building. Our staff enjoyed collaborating with Momentum Arkitekter and advising them, as required, on the benefits of each option.
The results are outstanding. Throughout Radiumhospitalet, bright colours considerably heighten the mood of visitors and hopefully create a sense of optimism at every turn.”
