Delfiinikortteli

Helsinki is busy developing and building new housing areas all around the city and Vuosaari is getting a fair share of this. The latest building site, after the new high school project, is already up and well “under construction” – a massive six and some smaller ones high-rises complex will be erected next to Cirrus, Vuosaari’s landmark.

I happen to live a stone throw away from the site and was fortuned enough to get wind of this project early enough and photograph the site before any construction worker had set foot onto the site. As with my other rather long documentation projects I’ll organise my photos and videos by years. So check back and look for the latest views.

This page is your landing site where you will find links to photos of Delfiinikortteli organised by year – I (will) have taken. If you are curious about the city’s decision making process and other related documents you may want to read the following bits:

City Council’s decision (pdf) from June 13 2018. For the decision making history or auxiliary reports leading up to the decision see list under § 184 Asia/17
B&M architects Ltd’s vision

But here are the short cuts to the year(s) and below them two panoramic views first from North and then from South. And finally at the very end you will find assorted takes of the site.

Random photos from 2020 and…

This project is still alive and I will get back to it when I have the time. I have amassed a ton of photographs and video over the years. I am hopeful to produce at least the timelapse you can have a clip of in the header of this page. It is going to be a massive timelapse including footage from four years.
