/ 2098 Hattutemppu / Tapionkentän huolto-, kahvio- ja pukuhuonerakennus

The city of Espoo (2nd largest city of Finland) organized a limited architectural competition of a Café-dressing rooms and maintenance facilities building on Tapionkenttä sports field. The site is located on a demanding urban connection point between different areas.


The building is located in the protected central area of Tapiola Garden city. The site is bordered by a church and park, Tapiola school and sport activities as well as the cultural centre of Tapiola.


The aim of the architectural volume was sculptural minimalism, with a touch of playfulness.
