Information
Type Facade and Area Lighting
Location Helsinki
Completion Year 2019
The unique canopies, serving as a hallmark of the shopping center’s main entrance, stand out prominently in front of the building as light is directed to their underside. This simultaneously illuminates the pedestrian pathway.
The glass facade appears as a shimmering mass. Various lighting effects can be created in the false windows by varying the illuminated windows – the material is transparent when unlit and light-conducting and diffusing when lit.
