Kuukoti, Espoo

An amendment to the detailed city plan allows for KOy Kuukoti’s two housing blocks above carparking to be built in Olari’s centre in place of a demolished commercial building, which has reached the end of its lifecycle. Both buildings consist of 7-storey housing towers above one storey of commercial and communal spaces, continuing the massing of housing tower above plinth of the existing neighbouring building. The housing’s communal outdoor spaces are located on the roofs of the plinth due to the density of the plot. The precast concrete framed buildings are clad in brick in keeping with Olari’s existing facades.
