Sähkötalo, Office building in Kamppi, Finland.

The Sähkötalo building features copper-clad exterior walls and large windows illuminated by color-changing neon lights during nighttime hours.

Completed in 1973, the Sähkötalo building emerged from architect Alvar Aalto's 1961 city center plan as the headquarters for Helsinki's electricity company.

The interior walls showcase Alvar Aalto's signature blue and white ceramic tiles, representing Finnish design principles in corporate architecture.

The building contains electricity control rooms, office spaces, and retail stores connected to Kamppi Center through an underground pedestrian tunnel.

Natural light enters the customer service hall through specialized skylights, similar to those found in Finland's National Pensions Institute.
