Meander is an Architecture Finlandia Award Finalist
Meander has received several international awards and recognition in architectural publications. Still, being a finalist for the Finlandia Award for Architecture is significant, as nominees have traditionally been public buildings such as schools and libraries. Meander stands out as a residential building that challenges perceptions of new housing.

Meander – Töölö’s New Architectural Gem
Steven Holl is known for his deep appreciation of light, nature, and its many forms. In Finland, he is best known as the designer of the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. Located in Töölö, the Meander building marks the return of Holl’s internationally acclaimed architecture to Helsinki. Rising on the Taivallahti shoreline, the building uniquely combines sculptural form with everyday functionality.
Meander features three entrance lobbies, each offering an impressive and distinctive first impression. The common area in Stairwell A can be used for events, and the same stairwell also includes a sauna section with terraces. Residents also have access to a lounge for celebrations and remote work, as well as a yoga studio.
On the ground floor, everyday living is made easier with smart solutions familiar from other N&B buildings: a mudroom-style entry with a shower, a bicycle maintenance station, shared-use bikes, and parcel pickup point.
Beneath the building, a 67-space parking garage has been excavated into the rock, equipped with electric vehicle charging readiness. The garage is accessible directly via elevator.
