Käpylän Posteljooni

The courtyard facade consists of large glass panels from floor to ceiling and screens of white ceramic louvres, made out of terra-cotta baguettes, manufactured by AGROB BUCHTAL. Behind this facade, wintergarden-like galleries lead to the front doors of the apartments. Where the outside of the U-shape suggests an anonymous unassumingness, the interior side opens up, and reveals the relaxed character of this architecture, shifting from a massiveness to an almost ephemeral lightness. While ceramics are not often associated with lightness, their effect here is one of an intriguing ethereality.
