Themed meeting interiors in central Helsinki.

Different ways to come together

A venue serving different groups benefits from a range of spatial characters. A room can feel informal and conversational, or more focused and structured, while still belonging to the same family of spaces.

A calm meeting environment

The Lagoon room pairs woven textures with a soft, warm palette. Its material character offers a different atmosphere from a conventional corporate meeting room.

Purpose before novelty

A strong theme provides a point of recognition. Its value lies in how comfortably it supports the people, furniture, technology and meeting format within the space.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT / TECHNICAL NOTES

How the idea was resolved.

01

Remote site review

The Kluuvi design process used WhatsApp video walkthroughs, conference calls and shared Google Slides workshops without a physical site visit by the design team.

02

Decision coordination

Client discussions made budgets, alternatives and design decisions visible across the Asia–Europe time difference. Shared visual records supported alignment between the remote studio and the site team.

03

HUONE-wide fabrication approach

Edition 2 describes modular joinery for narrow access routes in older Helsinki buildings, alongside factory inspections and on-site assembly. This is a programme-wide method, rather than a Kluuvi-specific component specification.

Project decisions documented in DMZ company profile, Edition 2. Programme-wide methods and design studies are identified where applicable.
