Karavaanikuja 2-4, housing company, Helsinki
The triangular-shaped residential block is located near the Rastila metro station and is bordered by Karavaanikuja to the north, Karavaanikatu to the east, and Vuoraitti to the south.
The facades are made of prefabricated concrete panels. The outer facades of the block are mostly brick-tiled, while the inner facades are white concrete. The brick-tiled facades are varied with different tile patterns. On the metro line side, the balcony facades are clad with red and gray aluminum grilles. Intensive collaboration using Building Information Modeling (BIM) played a key role in this project from the detailed planning phase to the construction phase. The project was awarded an honorable mention for the use of BIM in the Tekla BIM Awards competition. ONE Architects (part of AINS Group) was responsible for the main and architectural design of the project: https://www.onearchitects.fi/
