Myllypuro Helsinki
Helsinki, Finland, 2008
The City of Helsinki arranged in 2008 an Open Design and Build Architectural Competition for the Myllypuro area north of Helsinki City centre. The competition was won by Eriksson Architects in co-operation with Finndomo Rakennus Oy. The aim of this co-operation was to create an area with a wooden village atmosphere with flexible apartments in an ecological fashion using the Finndomo pre-fabricated wooden structured houses. The houses are pre-fabricated containing 4-6 building blocks which are assembled on the building site. In this way the construction is very energy efficient and the construction work on the site is minimized. The finished area is 17 500 sq ms and will contain approximately 125 apartments. Realization in 2010.
