Kemira HQ

When Kemira, a Finnish chemical industry group, started to plan moving their Helsinki headquarters to a brand new location, the company had two bright aims in mind. The main target was to update the company’s working culture to meet the needs of today. Secondly, it was now time to modernize Kemira’s office brand. The warp and woof of the design was to promote the new working culture and to create a sense of community by thoughtful interior solutions. 

The client wanted to carry out the major reform with piety, involving the staff. The design started with thorough studies in 2016. The long-term commitment of the both parties ensured that the final result was carefully tailored to fulfill all the goals and needs of Kemira successfully. 

The spectacular atrium in the heart of the building was designed to work as the hub of interaction, bringing together people from different teams and departments. The rest of the multi-space office spirals around the atrium beautifully, encouraging spontaneous interaction to happen both horizontally and vertically. Traditional workstations are located farthest from the lobby spaces. The representative premises, furnished with timeless luxury, can be found on the top floor.
