Haukilahti water tower, Water tower in Haukilahti, Espoo, Finland.

The circular water tower structure rises 45.3 meters with a diameter of 45.3 meters and contains two water tanks with 4100 cubic meters capacity.

The Haukilahti water tower, constructed in 1968, marked the first use in Finland of a technique where ground-built concrete elements were hydraulically lifted upward.

The tower design by Erkko Virkkunen and Ilmari Hyppänen incorporates influences from Constructivism and Futurism, with its shape drawing from 1960s space themes.

The structure supplies water to multiple areas including Haukilahti, Westend, Tapiola, Matinkylä, Olari, Niittykumpu, and Laajalahti through the Päijänne Water Tunnel system.

The upper section houses the Haikaranpesä restaurant, which translates to Stork's Nest, providing panoramic views over the Gulf of Finland and surrounding region.
