Kämp Galleria Shopping Center in Helsinki, Finland by Architects Soini&Horto Ltd

Article source: Architects Soini&Horto Ltd

The Kämp galleria shopping center is located in the center of Helsinki in the block called ’Antilooppi’, steeped in history. Espagalleria Co, which operates the center, wanted to develop the shopping center by extending the rentable area and changing the content in a more commercial direction. The solution was to create an indoor street in the Galleria on two  floors and to radically change the interior look. References were taken from the city structure and the history of the property. In  addition, the customers’ shopping experiences were improved by changing the circulation inside, and by creating views with new openings between the floors.
