Cortesia de MASSLAB
The Portuguese office MASSLAB, in collaboration with AFRY Ark Studio, won the Train Factory Mixed-Use Competition, an international competition in two stages whose main objective was to create a landmark for the city of Helsinki, Finland. The proposal was selected from five world-renowned architectural consortia.
The competition was organized by The Train Factory Group and the City Council of Helsinki, and the proposal A roof for Helsinki was chosen for the old electric train building that will be transformed into a 45,000 m2 building for offices, retail and a hotel, reimagined as part of the social, commercial and cultural nucleus of the historical heritage.
