BoKylä, Espoo

Bokylä is a residential development proposal, where a central pedestrian street and a public square in its west-end become the key drivers for its design concept.

BoKylä, Espoo

The proposal aims to densify the existing urban landscape of Mäkkylä in Espoo with housing and mixed use spaces, allowing new and the existing residents to take advantage of the new facilities and services. The small scale and the use of wood for its design, maintain the small-town character of the area. The designated area creates an opportunity for a mixed use housing development, since the existing school of Boställskol is transfered to Leppävaara in its completion. In this competition, the city of Espoo has chosen Bokylä, a collaboration between Skanska, ONE Architects (formerly Konkret), A-Kruunu, Boklok and Pentagon Design, as the winning proposal for further development from the total of 12 entries. The winning entry was determined by criteria like sense of community, relationship with nature, Espoo’s local identity and values. Proposal for amendment to detailed city plan. Competition 1st prize. ONE Architects (part of the AINS Group) was responsible for the main and architectural design of the project reference plan: https://www.onearchitects.fi/
