Among many other interesting speakers, Pia Ilonen will hold a lecture on experimental housing projects in Helsinki today at the "Self-Build Meets Municipal Housing Symposium" in Vienna, Austria. 
Stop by and get inspired - admission is free!”

The book brings together memories of the past and visions of the future of some of the key people in the cultural centre's history. Get your copy today and find out more about Talli partner Pia Ilonen’s involvement throughout all these years.

The book has been published in English, Finnish and Swedish and can be ordered online!

Right-of-occupancy and rental flats with rooftop community gardens. Greenhouses, vegetable planters and rooftop orchards  are made available for the inhabitants in this forward-thinking project that is one of Talli Architects fondest concepts. Creepers on the trellises and ever-greens sprouting from the planters on each balcony will in time join up to form green facades. 

Almost intangible, the rust-like appearance of the Corten steel façade makes the building appear like a kite, physically floating in the air, while the polished aluminium façade reflects the surroundings and allows the Dance House to blend in with its built environment.
Stepping closer, the building turns into a machine: industrial, grounded and highly functional. The design creates a symbiosis between the existing Cable Factory and its new Dance House extension.

The project is a collaboration of Talli and JKMM Architects and is set to be completed in 2020.
