Story of the Finnoo metro station
The Finnoo metro station opened on Saturday 3 December 2022, when metro traffic on the Matinkylä–Kivenlahti section started up. The Finnoo metro station has the Finnoonsilta entrance, the Meritie entrance and technical buildings. The Finnoo metro station construction contract was implemented by the consortium of GRK Infra Oy and Aki Hyrkkönen Oy.
The architecture of the Finnoo metro station takes influences from Espoo’s maritime environment and nearby nature. The metro station’s glass, metal and concrete surfaces are softened by the colour tones inspired by the area’s coastal nature and bird wetlands. The glass surfaces of the building’s facade feature graphical patterns reminiscent of bird wetland grasses, while the colour scheme of the interior spaces is inspired by the warm tones of the sea and coast. The metro station was designed by PES-Arkkitehdit Oy. The art featured in the metro station, Leena Nio’s “Haavekuvia” (Dream images), is also a nod to the maritime environment and nature
Finnoo as an area in Espoo
The Finnoo metro station is located in Espoo’s new district, Finnoo. Finnoo is a new seaside neighbourhood in Espoo. Construction in the area is under way and will continue for several years. Stretching from the Länsiväylä motorway to the seashore, Finnoo is being developed into a residential neighbourhood for 17,000 residents with a high-rise centre around the metro station.
