Europan 18

Hauska Tavata! Embarks on a bold vision to shape the future of Lahti’s Sports Shrine, reimagining it as a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban landmark. What was once a parking lot is transformed into a living landscape, inviting people to connect, reflect, and experience the space anew. A simple thoroughfare transforms into a welcoming boulevard, setting the stage for movement and community.

At the core is integration: sports, culture, and daily life converge in flexible, innovative ways. Existing structures are reactivated with purpose - hosting wellness, learning, and community programs. A new hotel rises not just for visitors, but as a symbol of Lahti’s growing appeal and commitment to dynamic urban life.

This is more than a redesign – it’s the activation of what is there. By weaving together local networks and underused potentials, the project forges new connections, new experiences, and a renewed identity for the city.
