During this autumn, we have finalised architectural, structural and mechanical design of the building, applied for a building permit and developed the building's energy system. Its been a pleasure to work with a very experienced team of people on the design:

Structural design: Kari Lomperi and Henry Tapiola (FCG)
Energy system development (in collaboration with Fortum): Aki Koskinen and Elina Kokko (Fortum)
Sustainability consultant: Juha Vanhanen (Gaia Group)
HVAC design: Aki Kurronen (Entalcon)
On the side of the City of Helsinki, we have worked the following people in various city bureaus:
Building permits / Rakennusvalvonta: Heli Virkamäki
Real estate dept. / Kiinteistövirasto: Juhani Kovanen and Henna Vennonen
Urban planning / Kaupunginsuunnitteluvirasto: Annukka Lindroos, Satu Tyynilä, Kerttu Kurki-Issakainen and also Ulla Kuitunen, who first pointed us to look at the site almost 1,5 years ago.
Also everyone at our office has been in some way involved and contributing the project. Outi Pirhonen and Petri Herrala on architectural documents, Lorenzo Servi (Studio Lumart) on early renderings, Dan Schoultz on project management and cost estimates, and finally Yuko Ozawa and Juha Kivistö, who built a beautiful wooden model during last summer:
