Maamerkki, Residential high-rise in Itäkeskus, Helsinki, Finland.

Maamerkki stands at 82 meters with 19 floors, featuring a glass-enclosed staircase that extends along its entire concrete and cement clinker facade.

The building, completed in 1987 from a design by architect Erkki Kairamo, maintained its position as the tallest structure in Helsinki until 2006.

The original name Valomerkki emerged from an architectural competition held by Haka in 1977, though the building received its current name Maamerkki later.

The building contains over 50 residential apartments and multiple business spaces, with a viewing terrace located at the top floor.

The illuminated glass staircase integrated with air conditioning channels creates a distinct visual element against the Helsinki night skyline.
