From Vision to Reality - EKE Loft

Verkkosaari, Helsinki, 2025

In the evolving Verkkosaari neighborhood, one raw EKE Loft apartment was given a new life. This renovation project brought to life a potential layout concept we had previously designed as part of a broader effort to visualize the possibilities of these unfinished homes for marketing materials.

Revealing the Potential of raw loft spaces

From Plans to Project Management
As interior architects and project managers, we guided the entire process from refining the floor plan to managing the renovation and coordinating the model furnishing. Our aim was to help prospective buyers see just how warm, inviting, and livable these expansive, raw spaces can be.

A Layout That Feels Both Open and Intimate
The apartment showcases how dividing a large, raw volume into functional rooms doesn’t have to compromise spaciousness. With carefully placed walls and thoughtful design decisions, the layout maintains an airy, flowing feel while offering privacy and comfort. The model apartment demonstates well that a loft can also suit a small family.

Seamless Collaboration for Maximum Impact

Design That Brings Structure and Warmth
Fixed furniture from HTH adds structure and cohesion, while natural tones and tactile materials bring softness and calm. The overall atmosphere is harmonious and considered, suiting a range of different buyer personas.

Smooth Execution Through Solid Planning
The renovation process itself was seamless, thanks to solid planning and collaboration. As construction supervisor Jouni Kallioniemi from EKE put it: “With good plans in place, the work proceeds smoothly without wasting time on clarifications.”

A Tangible Vision for Future Buyers
The completed apartment reflects the very essence of our original vision: a balanced, harmonious home that resonates with different lifestyles. It not only illustrates the potential of the space, but also makes it feel tangible, real, and ready to live in.
