Background

Constructed in 1996, the Valimo Park building was originally designed to house a single company. The building was renovated in 2019 to suit the needs of a variety of users, with Fujitsu continuing to occupy the building as the main tenant. During the renovation, the entire office space was modernised with the old school cubicles being replaced with modern, hybrid work environment.

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.
