Peer Osmundsvaag wants to transform an old coffee warehouse in Oslo’s Filipstad district into a concert venue, paying for the project himself.

Osmundsvaag works for AEG, the international concert company that operates hundreds of venues worldwide, including London’s O2 and Adidas Arena in Paris. He said he first passed the warehouse seven years ago, when its door stood open, and has dreamed of the site ever since.

I walked past here seven years ago and the door was open. Since then, I have dreamed about this place.
