Grönqvist house, Neo-Renaissance building in Kluuvi district, Helsinki, Finland
The Grönqvist building stands next to Esplanade Park, featuring ornate facades decorated with plaster elements by sculptor Karl Magnus von Wright.
Constructed between 1882 and 1883, this structure held the distinction of being the largest residential building in the Nordic countries at the time.
Architect Theodor Höijer designed the building with commercial premises at street level and residential spaces above, reflecting the urban planning of late 19th century Helsinki.
The building now houses offices and retail spaces on the ground floor, with the insurance company Ilmarinen managing the property and its rental units.
The street facade includes detailed plaster ornaments and decorative elements that span the entire block adjacent to Esplanade Park.
