Arctia Shipping Ltd. Headquarters

Facade

Floating office, Helsinki

Architects: K2s Architects Ltd


Arctia Shipping wanted their head office to be in close proximity to their fleet of icebreaker ships. To achieve this, the architects took the unusual step of building a floating structure, which now resides at Meriksarmi Pier in Helsinki. In contrast to the icebreaker ships, the floating office has an elegant black facade made from perforated aluminium sheets, manufactured and supplied by RMIG Solutions. The sheets have a distinctive cross pattern, inspired by ice and sailors’ textiles.
