Kamppi Center

Kamppi Centre (Finnish: Kampin keskus, Swedish: Kampens centrum) is a complex in the Kamppi district in the centre of Helsinki, Finland, designed by various architects, the main designer, however, being Juhani Pallasmaa.

As a four-year construction project, it was the largest singular construction site in the history of Finland, involving the extensive and difficult redevelopment of the Kamppi district in downtown Helsinki.

The Kamppi Centre combines the commercial need for streamlined, optimized shopping environment with the necessary supply of customers by maximum accessibility and mobility.

Gekko is the entrance to the subway, located at ground level, in the center of the lobby.

It is designed as a capsule about 4 meters in diameter, lined with ceramic tiles (surface area of about 275 m²).
