Otaniemi Shopping Centre Location: Espoo (Otaniemi), Finland Address: Otakaari 11-15 Year: 1960 Status: Realised
In 1960-61 Aalto designed a shopping centre and bank office in the centre of Otaniemi, consisting of five narrow volumes in one and a half storeys. The main front, which faces a small piazza, consists mostly of large display windows. The roof consists of five mussel-shaped sections and juts out in front of the shops to form an arcade. The building originally housed a bank, post office, hairdresser's salon, laundry, grocer's shop, and chemist's shop. An extension designed by the Aalto office was built in 1987.
