The other day I asked where to go for a photowalk and someone suggested to go to Jätkäsaari! Well, here we are! Hope you enjoy! Have a great evening! Soon it's weekend again!

@helsinkifacades | Helsinki. One facade at a time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Helsinki Facades [ 499 ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where: Välimerenkatu 9, Jätkäsaari.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who: Arkkitehtitoimisto Jukka Turtiainen Oy, 2012.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why: A splash of modern here on Helsinki Facades! I really like the contrast between the yellow and black facade bricks! Notice that the courtyard side of the building is completely bright green, quite a bold move for Finnish architecture! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trivia: Jätkäsaari is a former harbour area, which is being converted as a completely new district of Helsinki! There are loads of fancy and playful facades there! I took only a small walk there the. Other day and must go back with more time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to the estimates the district is going to be finished in the end of 2020 and then it’ll be home for about 6000 Helsinkians.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know more about this building or Jätkäsaari? Share it in the comments! ♂️

Helsinki Facades [ 473 ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where: Fabianinkatu 17 - Pohjoinen Makasiinikatu 6, Kaartinkaupunki.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who: Gesellius, Lindgren & Saarinen, 1901.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why: A detail from a castle in the city! A funny little frog! Plus the windows make a face here don't you think as well? Which emoji would describe it the best? Comment below! I think it looks like or !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trivia: Did you know that the building was originally known as the “Doctor’s House” as many doctors used to live in it. In 1953 the building was acquired by Agronomiliitto and it is now known as Agronomy House. The apartments have since been transformed to office spaces but a lot of the original interiors remain inside!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I took this during #instawalkjugend photowalk which we organized together with the architecture museum @mfa_arkkitehtuurimuseo
! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next photowalks will be organized in August and September as well! The walks start from the museum where a representative from museum will introduce us to jugendstil architecture and its history and I will tell a bit about photography as I know it the best! Then we take a walk in one of the jugendstil districts of Helsinki!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned for the dates! I'll inform them as soon as we set them up! You can sign up for the walks by sending an email to mfa@mfa.fi !

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Helsinki Facades [ 414 ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where: Köydenpunojankatu 1, Kamppi.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who: Grahn Hedman & Wasastjerna, 1904.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why: Minimal perfection! One advantage of having a longer lens is that you can spot and also reach neat little details that might be overlooked otherwise! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trivia: Grahn, Hedman and Wasastjerna was a productive Finnish architecture company, which worked from 1892 to 1905. The company was the largest architecture companies of its time and is responsible for designing many renowned buildings in Helsinki!

Can you also see a face in this facade⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@helsinkifacades | Helsinki. One facade at a time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Helsinki Facades [ 465 ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where: Hollantilaisentie 11, Munkkiniemi.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who: Eliel Saarinen, 1916.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why: The red brick mansard roof and the windows on the roof combined with the simple rendered facade!✨ I have shared a few (quite many ) photos of this beauty already! You can see them under my Munkkiniemi tag #HFmunkkiniemi !
Trivia: Did you know that Munkkiniemi's pension house was the one of the last projects by architect Eliel Saarinen in Finland. The pension house and the row houses (beauties too!) built on the same street (Hollantilaisentie) were also the only tangible assignments of Saarinen following the great city plan of Munkkiniemi-Haaga, which he formed in 1915.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The modern pension building, representative of the Central European Jugendclassism, was able to operate in its original occupation for only a few years until it was redeemed to bankruptcy and converted into a Cadet School. As a Cadet school, it worked until 1940, after which it was made the Air Force Headquarters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After this period it worked as a educational building and it was used as offices and conventional purposes.
Future plans for the house is to convert it to apartments! Would you want to live in this gorgeous building? I definitely would!

Редкий случай,никогда вместо того, что бы сказать про прекрасные наличники нечто "в позабытой деревне, адреса не знаю, никому не нужен, разрушается", могу назвать точный адрес - город Киржач, Гагарина, 34.
Я-то просто побежала красивый дом заснять, а это оказывается мини-музей русского наличниками и образец редкой аргуновской резьбы.
Сам домик построен в самом начале века и там жил местный аптекарь.
Ну и конечно же который раз грущу, что малые российские города были очень красивыми, гораздо лучше, чем сейчас, будь у нас больше уважения к наследию.
