Onvest

The long-standing family business Onvest Oy split into two companies in May 2018 and relocated to new office in Vallila. The office at Teollisuuskatu 33 is located in Onvest’s own property, at the heart of a continuously evolving neighborhood. In this modern office building, all services function smoothly: tenants have access to shared lobby services, an in-house restaurant, a conference center, as well as a gym and sauna facilities. Sustainability is a top priority at Teollisuuskatu 33, with the property utilizing solar power, significantly reducing the consumption of purchased electricity.

Onvest wanted to modernize its office within the building. Having previously designed other spaces in the property (such as the headquarters of Säästöpankkikeskus), we were chosen to update their own office as well.

To ensure that the legacy of this 100-year-old family company is felt right from the lobby, the design combines modern work tools with timeless interior decor. The atmosphere in the lobby is dignified, transitioning to a more home-like and contemporary feel as you enter the open office area. A particular focus was placed on high quality throughout the space. With new furniture and work tools, the meeting practices were revitalized, adding more relaxed elements to interactions. The flexible workspace includes interactive workstations for six people, two meeting rooms, a quiet working area, and an inviting kitchen and work café.

The design process delved deeply into the details, such as achieving the perfect color palette with just the right shades. This made it especially rewarding to see how the entire project came together and how pleased the client was with the final result. The functionality and color scheme simultaneously reflect the client’s softer values and the core concept of their real estate business.

Here’s how the new spaces were described by Onvest: “At Onvest, we encourage both physical and mental well-being among our staff. Our current office supports this balance well, with inspiring workspaces and the ability to maintain physical fitness in the gym.”
