Kartanonkoski

Kartanonkoski (Swedish: Herrgårdsforsen) is a Finnish housing suburb in the southern part of the City of Vantaa.

Located in or near the area are the International School of Vantaa, Jumbo shopping mall, and Ruutinkoski Rapids.

The area is part of the Pakkala district but for marketing reasons the suburb was named Kartanonkoski.

It is heavily influenced by the Nordic Classicism of the 1920s - especially in places the wooden Puu-Käpylä district of Helsinki - but also the Postmodernism of the 1970s and 1980s.

The intention of the architects was to combine the technology and building methods of the present - most of the houses are built using prefabricated concrete construction synonymous with modernism - with the architectural tradition of the past with heavy emphasis on aesthetics.
