Solina
The project Solina has been developed with the intention of making as little noise on site as possible. The project focuses on the preservation of existing nature, hence allowing the already existing natural and built environment to be enhanced and seen in a different light. The implementation of the focus within the project is portrayed in the large central park, which has been divided into three zones, the wilderness park, the social park and the Sigismund quarter. Solina delves into the various forms of the relationship between water and the built environment. The project allows water to play various roles, at times creating a barrier at the end of one´s private garden, at times becoming the space for communal sauna nights, at times creating an urban multi-use space – an ode to the Aura river, and at times allowing it to showcase the wilderness of nature.
I love the layout of the park. Absolutely this is what Puistomäki is all about.
Been living here in a house for over 10 years and I still get comments from other friends living in the main city how quit and peaceful we have it here. They especially say they love the amount of trees they see here since you don’t see much trees there. Another reason why I personally want it to stay the same is the “wildlife”. Every year we have a new deer family strolling in the garden (can send videos of them). We also have a bat flying here during the summer.. and let’s not forget the small birds singing in the spring or the squirrels running to the front and back. Please save the nature, Turku or Puistomäki do not need more big buildings especially in one of the coziest nature friendly neighbourhood.
