KPMG Headquarters

The KPMG site sits between the wide platform area of the train station and Töölönlahdenkatu. While the new office and residential blocks are not intended to compete with significant existing buildings such as Oodi, the new structure with its soft colour rhythm does play an important role as the defining edge structure of Töölönlahti Park. The undulating shapes on the western side create a distinctive atmosphere on the street while also forming miniature squares in the recesses to support entrances and business spaces.

This multi-purpose commercial building has a deep structural frame with a modifiable and versatile interior configuration. It is possible to design and furnish spaces around the fixed building elements according to the needs and preferences of the user. The high floor height creates open and airy spaces and a pleasant working environment, even when shared by several users. KPMG’s high central entrance hall with its open staircase is directly connected to the outside, energizing the streetscape, especially during the dark winter season.
