Up & under

Up & Under seeks to create a coherent, intuitive and pedestrian-focused district around Hyvinkää station area which seamlessly integrates the west with the east into a harmonious city centre. The proposal harnesses the existing connections which make Hyvinkää an important node while finding new seams to connect the station to the city, employment areas and recreational nodes in the greater region. It establishes 5 key connectors, new and refurbished, which utilize levels and existing topography to generate vibrant underground spaces and overground solutions, providing a strong green presence, and densifying the area within the vicinity of the station to create an attractive, mixed-use centre which combines living with productive activities and celebrates Hyvinkää’s industrial legacies.
