Landmark and Noise Barrier
Creating a landmark out o a whole urban neighborhood
The project includes two apartment buildings, five row houses, underground car park and yards belonging to the site.
Originally, the site comprised of two separate areas that were integrated into one entity.
Five stories high terrace houses were designed in a curved fashion, situated along Kontulantie road as the city plan requireed, thus creating both an area landmark and a noise barrier against the traffic din of a nearby busy Kontulantie expressway.
