Interior architecture, coordination, and perfectly executed lighting

Europe’s leading sanitary product manufacturer, Geberit, moved into the spaces in the spring of 2021. The newly constructed building, Lumijälki 2, in Ylästö, Vantaa, was an ideal choice for Geberit, which needed large office areas, storage space, and a showroom. Geberit became the building’s second main tenant with a long-term lease.

The extensive project began in spring 2020. We were responsible for the interior design as commissioned by the user, following the visual guidelines of the international corporation. We designed the surface materials, fixed and loose furniture, workspace layout, and lighting. We inventoried the loose furniture from the old premises and reused it where possible. In addition to the interior design, we also assisted with the AV and greenery plans, as well as with the tendering, management, and coordination of loose furniture and the move.

Incorporating the client’s
business – with a playful twist

For the pristine surfaces of the new building, we selected large ceramic tiles and durable textiles. The lighting in the meeting rooms, implemented according to the visual guidelines, cleverly references Geberit’s business: LED lighting is installed inside cut-out drainage pipes.
Natural materials like wood and leather bring warmth and contrast to the gray tones, while acoustic materials covering nearly the entire walls in the meeting rooms also enhance the spaces’ sound environment.

Environmental
goals from the
client’s perspective

Sustainability values influenced every aspect of the project. Geberit’s business is built on the UN’s sustainable development goals, and its product manufacturing processes consider not only water and energy consumption but also social responsibility. The planning and execution of the Lumijälki 2 project took into account the environmental objectives of the City of Vantaa, which aim to use natural resources thoughtfully and responsibly to promote well-being and sustainable development. Our expertise was essential when selecting furniture and materials to ensure that both the building’s and our client’s environmental goals were met.
