HUS Bridge Hospital
- Helsinki
- 2022
This housing project started in 2007 when Helsinki Housing Production Department ATT organized an invited architectural competition on an empty plot in the Hermanni district. The winning entry by B&M Architects consists of four buildings divided from the third floor upwards in two tower-like forms. This solution creates more views for the apartments. It also gives varying scale to the urban structure. The rust-orange and yellow coloured facades bring vividness to the environment.
The whole project comprises 98 apartments with 77 square-meter average size. In each house, there is a sauna and a roof terrace on top of the western tower. All apartments have recessed balconies as an integrated part of the interior. Natural light streams in through full-height glass walls.
The construction was completed in 2011 and the next year the project was awarded an honorary mention in the Europahouse Award competition.
