Elementtitalo, Arabianranta, Finland...


A few photos of an 'Elementtitalo', or 'element building/ house' going up in Arabianranta (Arabian-beach translated from Finnish), a new residential area in the outskirts of Helsinki. This form of building, which involves a set of factory made, semi-bespoke, building elements that are manufactured elsewhere, and transported to site where they are assembled, almost like a 3D puzzle, into the completed building...

These building systems are quite common in Scandinavia, but, as of yet, I haven't seen any implemented in the same fashion here in the Middle-East...

Might be a worthwhile effort to find out how well these are/ could be synchronized with various BIM systems..?!

Hienon näköinen elementtitalo. Kuinka usein tälle täytyy tehdä uusintasaumaus? Meidän naapuriin on myös nyt tulossa elementtitalo, odotan innolla että näkee sen pystytyksen. Se tosin on mielessä, kuinka usein niitä täytyy korjailla. https://www.esasauma.fi/elementtisaumaukset
