The housing block project As. Oy Helsingin Ambra in Jätkäsaari is based on a winning competition entry in an invited competition organised by the developer Skanska and the city of Helsinki in 2021. The building’s stepped volume creates large private terraces with sea views for the apartments and enables a lush landscape of green roofs that connect the building to the adjacent Saukonpaadenpuisto park. The unique metal cladded copper-coloured building stands out as a landmark in the cityscape. In addition to the 126 apartments there are commercial spaces in the street level, housing a restaurant and a bar. Construction will be finished by the end of 2024.
