Retkeilijänkatu 3-7, housing company, Helsinki
Retkeilijänkatu 3-7 comprises of three apartment buildings, which accommodate 76 apartments as well as commercial and office space.
The buildings are located along a narrow rocky site between Retkeilijänkatu and a cycling and pedestrian route, that runs alongside the metro line. Redbrick is the predominate facade material, while the ground floor level is a dark grey honed concrete and the upper floor a light-coloured graphic concrete. Balcony facades on the metro side are partially clad in colourful aluminium louvres.
