Voimatalo

Voimatalo is an office building in Helsinki with eight floors above ground and three underground levels. The structure provides workspaces including shared offices, meeting areas, dining facilities, and parking.

Architect Aarne Ervi designed this building between 1950 and 1952 as the headquarters for the energy corporation Imatran Voima. It was completed during Finland's post-war reconstruction period.

The structure shows how Finnish designers approached office spaces in the post-war years through straightforward concrete construction and logical interior layouts. This reflects the practical thinking that shaped workplaces during that era.

The location on a main street provides good access to public transportation. The building is accessible and offers ample parking for visitors.

The building uses a consistent typeface for all signage on its exterior, creating visual unity across the facade. This subtle design choice gives the outside a distinctive coherence.
