Revitalizing Vallila requires residents who use a variety of services. New housing and services bring life to street level at all hours of the day. The new buildings are designed to be flexible in the future, should the needs change. The architecture and the design of active street space take into account Vallila’s identity, its historical layers, and a human scale. The block also enables ambitious housing solutions that may not have been possible elsewhere in the inner city. What matters most is that the overall concept becomes something that city dwellers can easily embrace as their own.
