At the heart of Helsinki, by the Narinkkatori square, stands the colossal building designed in 1977 by Einari Teräsvirta. Behind its protected façade, modern office and business premises are being built. The building is vast, and so are its floors. On each floor, there is up to 3,000 square meters of space on one level.
The work of the Finnish-English design team is steered by the most important element: people. The impressive and comfortable public spaces will serve all users of the building. Building the workplace design on each customer’s circumstances and needs, the premises can be tailored to support each tenant’s business in just the right way.

Keep yourpeople happy
Work is significant for both personal and social life. People construct much of their identities through their work, and at work they also build social networks, make friends and even meet partners for life. Many people spend more of their waking hours at work than they do with their friends and families. This is why the importance of the location and comfort of the work premises, including the lobby and restaurant services and meeting and parking facilities, should not be underestimated.
Energy efficient andenvironmentally friendly
The energy efficiency and environmental footprint of the building and premises will be implemented using the latest technologies and modern solutions. Arkadia will be connected to the district heating and cooling network. The building’s new windows, LED lights, lighting control, ventilation system, low-consumption and partially automatically controlled water supply fittings, and easy and efficient waste sorting system add to the property’s comfort and reduce energy consumption. The aim is for Arkadia to reach the Very Good level in the BREAAM environmental certification.
