Our proposal Villa Yttrium has won the architectural competition for Vartiovuorenpuisto, Turku, Finland. The client of the proposal is Suomen Laatuasunnot Oy.
Villa Yttrium consists of two town villas joined by a glass connector. The building has a total of 6 floors and an underground garage.
Hand-made brick has been chosen as the façade material and roof surface. The height of the eaves skillfully match the adjacent Villa Solaris and thus complement the row of buildings in Vartiovuorenpuisto.
The apartments with their balconies open onto a beautiful park and cozy courtyard. The sloping high ceilings have bay windows and terraces. Ecological themes are present in sustainable materials, geothermal energy and adaptability.
The modern appearance of the building complex sits well into the surroundings and compliments the old building stock, the park and the newer buildings.
Villa Yttrium's name is a tribute to Professor Johan Gadolin, who is also called the father of Finnish chemical research. Johan Gadolin discovered an element that has since been called yttrium in the 18th century. Next to Villa Yttrium is a wooden house that housed Gadolin’s laboratory. A laboratory garden was located on the site of Villa Yttrium.

The residential complex forms a village-like community in a cultural-historical environment. We went on a bike ride to this unique destination with the staff at our Turku office.
When completed, the block will have 12 buildings and will be home to a thousand people. The courtyard is like a small village with a communal block in the center. In the yard you will find a variety of activities, from gardening to relaxation. The courtyard circle is bordered by a running track, which attracts people to go outside even in winter. Under the yard deck there is parking for 300 vehicles with electric charging points. The stormwater in the block is treated centrally in an underground modern stormwater system.
The block is the largest renewable energy destination in the Nordic countries. The complex will have a total of 800 solar panels and 80 geothermal heat collection points, which will make the Harpoon block almost completely self-sufficient in energy. Ecology has been thought of from the very beginning of the project. The demolition waste of the houses from the plots has been crushed on site and used in the foundation work. Foam glass, which is a domestic recycled product, has been used as insulation under the car parking garage. In addition, the block will have centralized waste management.
The developer of the project is the Seamen's Pension Fund and the main contractor is NCC Suomi Oy.

Byråns grundare Sigvard Eklund somnade lugnt in onsdagen den 11 september 2019 i Åbo. Han hade en månad tidigare fyllt 91 år. Sigvard föddes på Heideken den 15 augusti 1928, växte upp på Allégatan och blev student från Svenska Samskolan i Åbo 1947. Han avlade arkitektexamen vid Tekniska högskolan i Helsingfors 1954. Arkitektyrket hade han i blodet då hans pappa Aarne Eklund redan var arkitekt. Sin egna byrå, Arkkitehtitoimisto Eeva-Kaarina & Sigvard Eklund Ky grundade han 1956 med sin hustru Eeva-Kaarina.
Arkitektbyrån växte stadigt och namnet ändrades till Sigge Arkitekter Ab efter Sigvards smeknamn. Byrån verkar idag i Åbo och Helsingfors och ger arbete åt ca 60 personer.
Sigvard utstrålade värme och hade sinne för humor. I sin verksamhet var han alltid positiv, uppmuntrande och vänlig. Han fann stort intresse i kultur, resor och konst.

Åbo Akademis humanistiska fakultet i Åbo är belägen i det gamla stålfabrikskvarteret. Kvarteret ligger vid Aura å, mellan Biskops-, Fabriks, Kasern- och Ågatan. År 1856 grundades till kvarteret Åbo Jernmanufaktur Bolag. Bolaget fungerade ända till år 1952 i kvarteret, då i Fiskars Ab:s ägo. Kvarterets äldsta byggnader är från 1850-talet och de senaste byggnaderna från 1930-talet.
Projektet har sin grund i en inbjuden arkitekturtävling (SAFA) från år 1997 och det vinnande tävlingsförslaget ”fabrik”. Planeringens utgångspunkt var att samla den Humanistiska fakultetens olika verksamhetsområden och sektioner i samma kvarter, tillsammans i en akademisk fabrik.
