Hous­ing Fair 2025

Mod­ern hous­ing inspired by his­to­ry

At the Hous­ing Fair, you will get to explore the lat­est trends in small house liv­ing and con­struc­tion in gen­er­al. The fair area will fea­ture var­i­ous types of homes for new res­i­dents, from styl­ish small hous­es to trendy town­hous­es and mini detached hous­es. The area will be topped off by a func­tion­al water­front boule­vard with com­mu­nal spaces, boat docks, and pos­si­bly even small-scale float­ing con­struc­tion. A unique pedes­tri­an bridge con­nect­ing the shores of Har­taanselkä will become a land­mark of the area.

The Oulu­jo­ki Riv­er Delta, Har­taanselän­ran­ta, and espe­cial­ly Hietasaari are known for their 19th-cen­tu­ry vil­las. Now, the area’s fas­ci­nat­ing his­to­ry will be com­ple­ment­ed by fresh, mod­ern inter­pre­ta­tions of a new vil­la-like lifestyle, expressed through charm­ing wood­en archi­tec­ture, shel­tered court­yards, and a pleas­ant atmos­phere cre­at­ed by abun­dant veg­e­ta­tion. The result is stun­ning!
