Station architecture: The architectural theme of the Kaitaa metro station is “lush courtyards”, in keeping with the area’s nature and urban planning themes. The station’s architecture combines metal, glass and concrete finishes with the warm tones of the area’s characteristic pine forests. Shapes and tones that hint at the pine forest atmosphere are used in the interior spaces of the metal-clad buildings. Both entrances to the Kaitaa metro station are free-standing, pavilion-like buildings. The metro station was designed by PES-Arkkitehdit Oy.
Antti Tanttu’s artwork “Juurtuminen” (Putting down roots) is a graphically stylised network of roots that spans almost the entire length of the platform.
