Vuosaari High School

Description:
The new high school will be centrally located in Vuosaari, a martime local centre in Eastern Helsinki. It complements the developing neighbourhood: the high school will be a significant public building serving also the local community.
The high school adapts to a compact multi-level site by a railway. Its entrances, cascading roof terraces and ample public stairs enliven the streetscape on three levels.
The Vuosaari High School emphasizes music. Therefore it has a cluster of rehearsal rooms, studios and stages, but we also designed the lobbies and outdoor spaces to work for performances as well.
