10.10.2016 Winner of the Välkkylä architectural competition chosen
The winner of the Välkkylä architectural competition has been chosen. The purpose of the competition was to come up with new student housing ideas for the 12-floor apartment house which will be built in the Välkkylä area. The following architecture offices were invited to the competition:
- Arkkitehtuuritoimisto Seppo Valjus Oy, see the proposal, (all proposals in Finnish)
- Linja Arkkitehdit Oy, see the proposal
- Arkkitehtitoimisto Kanttia2, see the proposal
- Alt arkkitehdit Oy, see the proposal
The proposal named FANTOM by Alt Arkkitehdit Oy was chosen as the winner of the competition. The jury appreciated the fresh and youthful architectural touch of the proposal and also regarded the contrast it created with the surrounding older buildings. At the same time the jury pointed out that none of the proposals were ready to be implemented as such and – on the other hand – all of them had some interesting new ideas and strengths. Designing the new building will be continued together with the Alt Arkkitehdit Oy.
In addition to the first prize an honorary award was given to Arkkitehtitoimisto Kanttia2.
PSOAS would like to thank all those involved in the competition and congratulate the winner!
