One of the few still existing manors in Helsinki city
The oldest part of the manor was built in 1815. The manor came under the ownership of Kone Oyj in the 1960s and the building was renovated for office use to become the company’s headquarters. After the 1980s, the building has undergone some spatial changes and renovations of the outside envelope.
By mid 2010s, the spatial requirements and deteriorating fittings resulted in a plan for a new renovation. The main spaces were conserved with minor structural changes and a color scheme based on found examples was applied. New working spaces were cleared into the attic and basement of disused apartments.
Special effort was placed to remediate the relationship of the building to the partly lost landscape garden. The imposing dark stone base exposed by later excavations was remedied with a researched planting scheme and the wings were fitted with a green roof for a spatial connection to green surroundings on the upper floors.
The building is protected by the Building Protection Act, concerning the building and the surrounding park.
