Micro-size apartment building Tikku rises in Helsinki city centre as a result of
Helsinki Design Week and Sponda co-operation
On Thursday 7 September, a micro-size apartment building the size of a parking
place will be built on Keskuskatu in Helsinki. The building can be seen during
Helsinki Design Week on 7-17 September. Designed by architect Marco Casagrande,
Tikku ('stick') can be built in one night. It takes a stand for the urban
planning of the future: as cities grow denser, there is a need to find more
agile ways of building and spatial solutions.
Together with Helsinki Design Week, Sponda has realised an urban co-working hub
in Tikku that is part of the HDW HOP City Installations.
"In an insightful way, Tikku demonstrates the development of cities and a future
vision of combining different spaces. A dense urban structure that combines
different purposes offers new opportunities for developing communality and
brings life to cities when buildings can also be used outside of office hours. A
micro apartment building also sets for us an example of a future," says Anita
Riikonen, Marketing and Brand Manager at Sponda.
Sponda is involved in urban development through the properties it owns and it
also wants to bring more life to city centres. "The Tikku installation is a
great example of how different actors can through co-operation create new
innovations that bring joy to the people of the city," continues Anita Riikonen.
The working space of the future is built on the second floor of Tikku where
Sponda's employees, Sponda's tenants and co-operation partners will work during
Helsinki Design Week. The first floor of the micro apartment building will house
residential spaces, and the third floor has a rooftop garden. Made of CLT
massive wood structures, Tikku was built in the Woodpolis of Kuhmo.
