Lehtisaaren Terassi, designed by the esteemed Schauman Architects and Schauman & Nordgren Architects, is situated in a central location at the heart of this unique nearby island. The architectural identity of the property is associated with versatile urban living in the midst of nature.
Timeless materials such as brick, wood, and glass, along with clean-lined architecture, create a sophisticated and minimalistic connection to Lehtisaari's history and its building heritage. The natural dialogue between Lehtisaaren Terassi's architecture and interior design, along with the controlled attention to detail, pays homage to the island's characteristic 1970s brick construction.
The atmosphere of the apartments is characterized by spaciousness and brightness. The spaces open up to the landscape through large windows and wide sliding glass doors on the balconies.
A good everyday life extends beyond the walls of the house. Beauty, greenery and year round functionality play an important role in the yards of N&B Homes. The yard completes the home by integrating the building into its surroundings.
The central principles of the yard design are human-centric and timeless, resulting in a robust, versatile, and lush environment. The yard is clearly divided into two themes and levels. The concept naturally aligns with the architectural design of the building, following the way the levels naturally fit into the landscape. The overall appearance is lush, with vegetation seemingly embracing the block.
The intimate upper-level environment sets the mood with terraces and garden-like plantings. The play area and communal seating areas enclosed by a pergola structure are also located on the upper level. The lower level serves as a more public arrival area, connecting directly to the north-side street areas through paved surfaces. The lower-level green planting areas, with their diverse tree species, visually connect with the forested slope on the south side of the block.
The landscape architecture firm behind the courtyard design, MASU Planning, was founded by internationally acclaimed landscape architects Malin Blomqvist and Sune Oslev. The chief designer of the courtyard, Malin Blomqvist, has been responsible for extensive garden designs, including the one at the H.C. Andersen Museum in Odense, Denmark, which opened in 2020. She collaborated with the globally renowned architect Kengo Kuma on this project.
