Freezer Follestad is a modern logistics facility, located in Røyken Næringspark, with a total usable area of approximately 15,000 m². The building is divided into four separate freezer sections (-23°C) of approximately 1,500 m² each. The facility has 8 loading ramps, goods reception and various intermediate storage areas that ensure efficient handling of goods, as well as administration areas and staff facilities. The second floor has been designed for additional storage areas, including dry storage and a mezzanine as intermediate storage. The architecture is sober and tidy, with a focus on robust and durable materials.

Outdoors, the project includes manoeuvring areas and parking spaces for trucks, as well as a dedicated parking area for employees. Green areas around the building contribute to a tidy and functional outdoor area.

The building was made of steel construction with an outer wall of fully insulated sandwich wall elements, with a surface of lacquered steel, which is well suited to the building's function. The main building, located to the south, was clad in boards in a medium gray colour, while the goods reception with the administration part, located to the north, was clad in the same type of boards in a chalky white colour.

Signs were placed on the wall of the cold storage clearly on the front facade, adapted to the building's proportions.

The office recently completed an extension to the existing cold storage, a hall for further storage.
