YIT among the winning group of the Leppävaara idea competition Espoon kaupunki - Esbo stad - City of Espoo has chosen YIT, ARCO Architecture Company Finland, and Ramboll’s proposal “Walk Around” as the winner of the Leppävaara idea competition. The aim of the competition was to find an overall plan for the area north of the railway tracks – one that is of high quality in terms of architecture, urban structure and functionality and increases the recognisability and attractiveness of the area. The plan will steer detailed planning and multi-phase construction in the area over the next 10–20 years. In the winning proposal, the northern and southern sides of the tracks are connected by a deck structure over Turuntie and buildings to be constructed on the deck. According to the plan, residential and workplace blocks would be built on the deck and on the northern side of the tracks. “We are very pleased that our proposal to develop Leppävaara won the tough competition and also received the most positive reactions from the public. In particular, we succeeded in planning the conditions for walking and cycling, managing storm waters and strengthening biodiversity with the principles of controlled rewilding,” said Juha Kostiainen, EVP, Urban Development and Sustainability at YIT.

Sustainability is no longer just an option, but an essential responsibility in architecture, says Jan Robin Knikker, Partner and Strategy Director at MVRDV, Netherlands. In this context, design practices are changing to meet new European regulations on reducing carbon emissions and integrating sustainable materials into construction. The Valley project demonstrates an innovative approach to human-scale skyscraper design using sustainable materials and design optimised to reduce the carbon footprint. With an emission of 705 kg CO2 equivalent per square meter, the design achieves a 49% reduction in embedded carbon compared to traditional construction. The facade is also made of bricks made of recycled materials, with modular and replaceable components, thus supporting a circular economy.
