The grave memorial committee invites professional Finnish artists and professional foreign artists permanently resident in Finland to take part in the competition.

The grave memorial must be temporarily transferable. It must be well suited to the location and such that no other than normal maintenance is required. 3.

  • R23 – Brochure
    Premium Office Space Unique atmosphere right next to Kamppi Originally built as a tobacco factory in the early 20th century, Ruoholahdenkatu 23 is a fully-renovated, high-class real estate property that offers unique, modern premises for working in downtown Helsinki. From a tobacco factory to a modern office space A hundred years ago in the Koskikara block in west central Helsinki – at Ruoholahdenkatu 23 – a legendary, much-cherished Finnish cigarette called Työmies (”Working man”) was being manufactured. The story of Työmies and the Fennia tobacco factory came to an end in 1984. Subsequently the architecture, atmosphere and the spacious, exceptionally lofty interior spaces have been enjoyed by a myriad of different companies, offices, creative professionals and artists. Built: 1913 Entrances: 3 per floor The property Renovated: 2012 & 2018 Bicycle storage: planned in a nutshell Floors: 6 above ground + basement Other: lobby for guests + common Floor area: 900–1000 m2 meeting room Cooling: modern Cabling: Cat 5e/6 Completed in 1913, this factory property is a rare gem for anyone who is looking for new business premises in downtown Helsinki. Much of the rugged spirit of the hundred-year old tobacco factory still remains in the building, even though the whole property has been thoroughly renovated to comply with the requirements of contemporary work and business. The interior spaces are modern, bright, functional and adaptable, complemented with the latest state-of-the-art technology. Ruoholahdenkatu 23 combines the unique atmosphere of an old factory building with a modern environment in a fascinating way. The building offers its users an office setting where the zeitgeist, exceptional comfort and high-flying creativity come together.
