I moved to Helsinki from Petrozavodsk, Karelia, to study law there and, of course, to experience life in a new setting! There I will share my thoughts and photos of daily life in Helsinki and Finland as a whole.

Asuntomessut 2015, Vantaa

To explore the culture, one needs to explore the housing style, my dad, who is an engineer by profession, says.

The idea of the housing fair is that every year certain Finnish city welcomes it, letting thousands of interested people - professional engineers and all others - to explore the exterior and interior of the newly built housing area. This year it is held in Kivistö, Vantaa. Apartments blocks are peacefully neigbouring with luxurious villas. What unites them all is a simplistic Nordic design - nothing seems to look as falling out of place, minimalistic elements of design are in harmony with each other.




Biowaste container wants to sleep.


Colourful area for parking and washing bikes.






Some flats are designed with special taste - urban, modern and retro. Where else could you find the exhibition of Finnish washing powder from the sixties?
