Kruunuvuorenranta Collection Station, Helsinki

To conceal the building's functions from the street, the facades of the building were constructed without windows. The façade is based on the idea of lichen growing on the cliff. The lichen structure was vectorised into triangular patterns cast in precast concrete. During the project, a three-dimensional method of casting the precast concrete elements was developed. The Kruunuvuorenranta assembly station won 1st prize in the architectural competition "Concrete Facade Architecture Award 2017". In addition, it was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2018 and for the Finlandia Prize for Architecture in 2019. ONE Architects (Part of AINS Group) were responsible for the main and architectural design of the project: https://www.onearchitects.fi/
