Cossement Cardoso Proposes Glass-Layered Museum Design<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cossement Cardoso wins second prize in the international competition for the new Architecture and Design Museum along Helsinki\u2019s historic South Harbour. JKMM Architects<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>designed<\/span>\u00a0the winning proposal<\/a><\/strong> among 624 entries (find designboom\u2019s previous coverage\u00a0here<\/strong><\/a>), including Luca Poian Forms\u2019 V\u00e4kk\u00e4r\u00e4 concept<\/a><\/strong>. Cossement Cardoso\u2019s design emerges as a dialogue between nature, history, and urban transformation. Set within a layered context shaped by centuries of maritime and urban activity, the building both respects and reinterprets its surroundings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drawing inspiration from the Finnish<\/a><\/strong> landscape and architectural heritage, from birch forests to crystalline ice formations, the museum<\/strong><\/a> blends organic forms with geometric precision, creating softly curved facades that invite exploration from all angles. Evolving from an initial solid concrete<\/a><\/strong> mass into a translucent fortress of textured glass<\/a><\/strong>, the project balances protection and openness. The glass facades<\/a><\/strong> filter light while preserving a sense of security, transforming the museum into a cultural beacon at the threshold between land and sea. The undulating roof<\/a><\/strong>, reminiscent of billowing sails, resonates with Helsinki\u2019s skyline, offering a subtle but distinctive landmark that bridges the city\u2019s past and future.<\/p>\n

Textured Glass and Curved Roof Define Helsinki Museum<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The materiality of the building, chosen by the architectural team<\/a><\/strong> at Cossement Cardoso,\u00a0reflects an experimental and sustainable approach. Recycled glass is heated and poured into wooden molds, where the interaction of molten glass and charred timber creates unique textured panels. This process embeds traces of the landscape and craft into the fa\u00e7ade, while the repurposed timber enhances the interior\u2019s warmth and tactile quality. The calibrated variation between textured and smooth glass provides visual permeability where needed, balancing enclosure and openness throughout the building.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the project is a holistic response to context, culture, and craft. It merges architecture and design, material experimentation, and sustainability, offering a contemporary interpretation of Finnish heritage. The result is a building that is at once protective and inviting, sculptural yet permeable, rooted in memory while embracing light, transparency, and the ever-changing relationship between land, sea, and city.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
