Seahorse Finnoo Marina City is proposed as a vital centre of activity and the premier maritime gateway for Espoo to the inner archipelago and beyond to further destinations in the Baltic region. Finnoo Marina City is thus a crucial interface, both domestically and internationally. The proposed population within the competition area is around 5000 inhabitants, with a corresponding density of 3000 residents per square kilometer.

 

Seahorse has been planned as a mixed-use high-density sustainable urban village, with a priority on flowing and accessible pedestrian environments, enhanced with public transport. Within the competition zone, a wide range of environments have been carefully integrated to provide a diverse and interesting urban scene which in turns enriches residents and visitors. Care has also been paid to blending a range of daily rhythms within spatial contexts by proving a range of live and working options.
