Bosch’s Finnish headquarters is a machine-like, sturdy building with a logical structure.
Bosch’s Finnish headquarters is a clean and sleek four-storey office building in Vantaa’s Aviapolis. The building is located at the intersection of Tikkurilantie and Robert Huberin tie near good traffic connections.
The floor plate of approximately 1 000 m² of the building can be divided into three stairways for eight tenants. The building is designed for the flexible needs of modern office work and it is easy to adapt the space to the tenant’s wishes.
On the first floor, in addition to office space, there are showrooms, storage, meeting and training rooms as well as assembly rooms. Floors 2–4 consist mainly of open office space, while the basement houses the emergency shelters, storage rooms and personnel rooms. A restaurant is located on the top floor and the dining area has large windows overlooking the airport. The plant room is located on the top floor, integrated into the building mass.
The exterior of the building is made of wooded façade elements clad in aluminium composite panels. The building is divided into two masses, the taller mass is white and the lower mass with its green roof is dark. The façade is rhythmically accentuated by pilasters that emphasise the fenestration and, on the second floor on the Tikkurilantie side, a full-length horizontal glass wall with frames projecting from the façade. On the ground floor, the façades in front of the main courtyard entrances are mainly glass. The parking spaces are located in the green courtyard area to the south of the building. The courtyard terracing and structuring of the parking spaces are done with stone baskets with integrated planter boxes. The parking space area consists of grass block pavers.
