The desire was to create a spatial program that supports the transition to a more collective and interactive working style to allow for a more participatory experience and to facilitate an atmosphere of sharing and caring in the community. The goal was to create a multifunctional building that provides for the needs of the growing and increasingly multicultural community consisting of students, families, working people and elderly. From start to finish, the design process included regular workshops with representatives of the many different user groups of the future building and the final design was developed in interaction with them. The project for the new Tikkurila Church and Housing was realized in close collaboration between the architects, the builder, and the client.
