These new eco-efficient rental homes stand in a handsome location on the cliffs of Soukanniemi headland. The energy efficiency is taken into account in e.g. structures and unit fittings. Heat pumps are used to generate heat, as the terrain is ideally suited for utilising geothermal heating. Little details have big impacts on energy consumption: the lighting, for instance, makes use of energy-efficient LED lamps and motion sensors.

The top-floor units offers views all the way to the sea. All units have either a balcony or ground-level terrace. The building’s shared sauna section is on the basement floor while the attic features a fabulous decked rooftop terrace with spectacular views of the surrounding nature, all the way to the sea. Those with green thumbs will take particular pleasure in the raised beds for residents’ use on the building land.

Soukka is characterised by its proximity to the sea and its glorious natural setting. The nearby Suvisaaristo islands have not only beautiful walking paths but also a beach for swimming. There are a library, several day care centres and an primary school in the area. Everyday services can be found within walking distance at Soukka shopping centre, while Lippulaiva shopping centre in Espoonlahti or the Iso Omena Shopping Center in Matinkylä cater for wider needs. Soukka is located around 25 minutes from Helsinki by car and even by bus the journey is only a little over half an hour. Once the western extension of the Helsinki metro is completed, using public transport will be even more flexible.
