SANTALAHTI

CHALLENGES: Vibration and noise from the railway and road traffic, location on the northern slope, and significant variations in ground elevation. Preserved industrial and residential buildings, as well as the adjacent small-scale Pispala RKY area.

SOLUTIONS: Shaping the building masses to create a peaceful residential environment. The blocks are enclosed from noise by wall-like lower building masses, and higher transverse building parts divide the inner area of the block into pleasantly sized courtyard areas. Structural parking solution.
