FRONT PAGE PROJECTS CULTURE AUTHORS FINLAND ENGLISH The Loft House The Loft House is an office building commissioned by the construction company EKE and also serves as the company's head office in Espoo. We won the design competition with a proposal that was like EKE: honest, rooted and authoritative. Playing with contrasts, the open-minded plan draws on both the past and the future - the 60-year-old company’s long uncompromising history and its current role at the forefront of technology. Concrete and brick tell the story of the company's solid structure, EKE's title material oak for its warmth and humanity. From a distance, the facades of the house appear orderly and clear, approaching the relief surface of the masonry and the graphic composition formed by the windows gives depth and warmth to the essence of the building. At the main entrance, the reduced structure was broken with an impressive sculptural incision. A conscious risk was taken with regard to the formula: by stretching the boundaries of the formula, the handsome trees of the plot were saved and a cylindrical entrance square was created for the building. Behind the glass wall opens a multi-storey lobby space, which attracts the attention not only of those who arrive at the destination, but also of passers-by. The spacious spaces in the loft office, delimited by large glass surfaces, are also a reference to a forward-looking attitude.

The sign concept designed for the premises reproduces the material palette of the building and the minimalist clear design language. Sara Hildén Art Museum, competition proposal Next project Tel.
