Kampin Kupari, Helsinki

Kampin Kupari is a unique conversion project where an old office building, originally completed in 1966, was transformed into modern apartments while preserving the building's valuable history. During the conversion, the well-preserved concrete frame of the building was retained. The low section of the building was elevated, and new HVAC machine rooms as well as a communal sauna with rooftop terraces were added to the top floors. The entire exterior envelope was replaced, and the façade was crafted from genuine copper to reflect the aesthetics of the 1960s. The building houses 75 apartments and has commercial spaces on the ground floor. The residential courtyard is located within the block on a deck above the parking garage.
