Loft L

Loft L in Töölö, Helsinki, is built on top of a courtyard annex of a perimeter block originating from the 1920’s. The apartment has windows to three directions on two levels, giving the white shapes of its walls and ceilings a very lively sculptural quality throughout the varying lighting conditions of the day and the year.

The apartment has been built in an old attic space, which had already in the 1950s been partially converted to office use. Everything was completely rebuilt and the whole loft envelope was utilized to achieve a unique apartment, which feels like a private house on top of an 8-story building. The 15-square-meter roof terrace provides views over Helsinki.
