Riihimäki water tower, Water and observation tower in Harjukylä, Finland.
The water tower rises 30.65 meters high on the highest ridge of Riihimäki, featuring yellow brick walls and white-rendered pilasters marking its concrete structure.
Completed in 1952 by architect Erik William Bryggman, the tower incorporated museum facilities and a panorama café in its initial architectural plans.
The tower's glass-walled stairwell and systematically grouped windows resembling water bubbles demonstrate the fusion of Finnish utility and architectural design.
The structure maintains a water storage capacity of 856 cubic meters while providing visitors access to panoramic views of the surrounding region.
The lower two floors, originally intended for museum space, were later utilized by the State College for Handicraft Teachers.
