Futureproof Your Office
As the ways of working keep evolving , YIT wants to reinvent today ’ s offices – starting with Pasila ’ s Tripla
The future of offices may well be on display in Pasila , Helsinki – in just a couple of years . The Tripla Centre which is currently being built in Pasila will also change the way we look at work , believe Tuula Klemetti and Teemu Haataja from YIT .
Y IT , the developer in the ambitious project , is of the opinion that the Tripla
Centre will reinforce Pasila ’ s position as a crucial area of office construction as well as a dominant business district . As downtown Helsinki keeps expanding north – functionally speaking – Pasila is fast evolving into the de-facto centre of the new , urban Helsinki . Spearheading this urban development , Tripla will become a compact superhub of headquarters , offices and hotels .
“ We are set to launch three office buildings with a total volume of 50,000 square metres ,” says Tuula Klemetti , Sales Director for YIT .
“ The first office building will be completed by the summer of 2020 , with two more to follow the next year ,” she lays down the timeline .
Platform Mindset
Tripla ’ s office facilities are designed to stand the test of time . Ranging from world-class headquarters to small and medium sized offices , the Tripla offices will be built to
22 Nordicum meet the challenges of the hard-driving business world . In the planning effort , special attention has been given to the concept of work itself .
“ In the future , we believe that technology will form the platform for the various needs of companies , enabling a great variety of things ,” says Klemetti .
As expert work is steadily increasing and the significance of time and place keeps decreasing , offices are playing a growing role as social spaces ; the ‘ new office ’ is a place where employees meet , exchange ideas , review common goals … and , hopefully , have fun together , too .
“ By introducing multispace solutions , we can find more personalised ways of working and become more effective in the workplace ,” says Teemu Haataja , Sales Director for YIT .
Diversity Wins the Day
Haataja talks about a workplace where there is a wide range of different spaces that accommodate the task at hand – and match the mood of the worker , even .
“ Using different apps , people can for example know where their co-workers are , if their favorite work station is available – and what ’ s ‘ today ’ s special ’ at the cafeteria ,” he adds .
YIT is developing the offices at Tripla under the guiding principle that all space must adjust to the changing needs of the companies . This means , for instance , that floor plan changes can be made quickly
