In a competition with 64 architectural firms, Transborder Studio, together with Bollinger+Grohman as consultants, won and realised a limited planning and design competition for the extension to the Holocaust Centre on Bygdøy.

The new "Mino" building is integrated into the hilly landscape below the existing building and contains exhibition rooms, a workshop and learning spaces. The transition from the existing building takes place via a transverse axis that runs from the reception of the main building to the staircase area of the new building. The two-storey connection is glazed on one side and provides a view of a water mirror.
