Real Estate Development
Complex interplay between the tangible and the intangible, between the practical and the idealistic, but always with respect to the past and an eye to the future.

We offer services from simple test fits to comprehensive development projects where the entire property can be transformed into new use. We aim to be involved from the beginning of the project, to best understand the needs of the property owner and the different possibilities of the space in question.
Our focus is to redesign and preserve existing buildings, aiming to find the best functionalities and to make the life cycles longer by finding the best solutions for the property owners.
With our in-house 3D designers, we produce high-quality digital twins of the properties that offer help in managing property-related information. For the property owner we offer a strong vision, market distinctiveness and therefore a certainty of added value.


Strategy & Delivery

Espoo Campus Family Centre
Espoo’s first family center Campus brings a wide range of services for families with children under one roof. Fyra was the principal designer for the project, aiming to transform the former industrial and office building from the 1980’s into a homely place with approachable coziness. Creating a safe feeling in a non institutional-like space was the cornerstone of this project, which incorporated the user group right from the start.

Strategy & Delivery
Fyra was responsible for the concept design and the interior architecture of the common areas in the first and seventh floor. In addition to serving the users of the building, the first-floor common areas and services were designed to appeal to the surrounding community as well. The upper seventh floor of the building was converted into representative premises with new meeting rooms, collaborative areas and naturally a sauna.

Background

Before the project, Trevian, a real estate investment and asset management company, put the marketing of the project out to tender. Interior Architects Fyra won the interior design bid. It was a cooperation project together with creative agency Dynamo & Son and PR agency Drum.

Strategy & Delivery
Fyra’s assignment was to portray how the Neo-Renaissance building from 1891 and the Art Nouveau space from 1905 can function as a modern working environment. That vision was then used in planning the advertisement material and site visits. Fyra designed a visual customer journey map in the premise and chose the spaces that were to be renovated and through which you can walk and experience the interior.



Fyra brought the space to life by creating a contrast to the opulent details and bold colours. Modern Finnish furniture and large carpets were used to soften, balance out and add a contemporary vibe to the premises. Fyra provided also the designs of the 3D images for the advertisement video. In the video, behind each door and in the courtyard, everything is Fyra’s handiwork. 3D models: Zoan
