Woods, Eteläespa 2
Woods, Eteläespa 2 redefines the traditional office concept using NREP’s innovative ‘Space-as-a-Service’ model in the prestigious business district of Helsinki.
Woods is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern companies. It offers a flexible, sustainable, and functional platform where these elements seamlessly merge. The spatial concept combines private office spaces with versatile shared areas. Features such as hubs, meeting centers, and collaborative spaces foster a vibrant community while providing resources that support privacy and focused work. The design prioritizes the user experience, integrating workspaces and shared services to create an environment where companies of all sizes can thrive.
The “Soft Classic” theme of Woods’ design pays homage to the architectural heritage of Eteläesplanadi, blending timeless and elegant features. The aesthetic combines dark tones, brass details, and patina, balanced by soft, natural materials such as wood and textiles. This interplay between classicism and Scandinavian design creates a calming and light-filled environment,
enhanced by biophilic elements like thoughtfully placed greenery and abundant natural light. Furniture and materials have been carefully selected, focusing on low-carbon solutions and timeless style, resulting in a sophisticated yet approachable atmosphere.
Woods is deeply committed to sustainability. The project aims for carbon neutrality through responsible material choices and energy-efficient solutions while incorporating flexible design principles to extend the building’s lifecycle. By combining the best aspects of communal workspaces and traditional offices, Woods offers an unprecedented level of adaptability, supporting businesses at every stage of growth. Its location in the most prestigious business area of Helsinki makes it an ideal environment for companies seeking a strong urban presence.
The Woods concept is a significant innovation in the office market, offering businesses more than just a workspace – it’s an ecosystem where growth, innovation, and sustainability thrive together, right in the heart of Helsinki.
