Tikkurila partners up with BoKlok
Tikkurila has begun a collaboration with BoKlok, the housing concept developed
by IKEA and Skanska. The collaboration has inspired Tikkurila and BoKlok to
design a special exterior color card for BoKlok Finland. The card has four color
schemes which will be matched with the location and environment of each building
in the planning phase.
The color combinations are called Tammisaari, Vimmerby, Bergen and Inari.
"Villaesque Tammisaari is a playful combination of white and bright colors. The
traditional color palette of Vimmerby is the choice for nature-loving urban
dwellers. The darker shades of the Bergen scheme, on the other hand, bring out
the idiom of modern architecture and are a perfect fit for both urban and
naturalistic settings. The shades of gray in the Inari color scheme enliven
cityscapes without being boring," says Marika Raike, Design Manager at
Tikkurila.
"The well thought-out colors are part of the BoKlok design. I believe that this
partnership will also facilitate our cooperation with municipalities, as we can
now easily and simply show them what the BoKlok houses will look like from the
outside. A harmonious and clearly defined color scheme will be of great help in
the construction phase to have," explains BoKlok Country Manager Susanna
Sucksdorff. "Our cooperation with Tikkurila supports the BoKlok concept of
excellent but affordable architecture and design. Design does not always mean
going to great expense."
The facades of BoKlok housing will be painted with Tikkurila''s water-borne Ultra
Pro or Ultra Classic house paint. The wood-based prefabricated building elements
are treated according to a certified process at the factory. The painting and
color related expert services of Tikkurila are available to both the constructor
and residents.
The first project where the new color card will be used is the Helsingin
Peikonpuisto housing company in Siltamäki in Helsinki. The colors of the
Peikonpuisto block will be selected from the Bergen color scheme. The buildings
will be dark, accentuated with reddish brown or tawny.
The BoKlok concept was developed in collaboration by Skanska and IKEA in the mid
1990''s. The concept involves providing affordable housing with carefully
designed living space solutions in an area with great services nearby. In
Finland, the concept includes a shared sauna and gardening plots.
