Hello! I’m Aamir from 2020. Take a few minutes and follow me through our day at Our Neighborhood.

Aamir wakes up early, reads his prayer and goes to the roof garden to get some fresh herbsâ&#x20AC;Ś

…to the common utility building to get some freash eggs…

â&#x20AC;Śof which he makes a fine breakfast for him and his family!

In the staircase Aamir greets Linda…

…who is on her way to the top floor gym to have a morning exercise.

Linda is single and lives in the 6th floor cell apartment together with her room mates.

Back to Aamir. After having breakfast he goes up to the 7th floor where he does his shift at the Human Care Center as a part of his high school studies.

06:00 Our Neighborhood | Copyright ÂŠ Joksu

The Human Care Center is a place where the oldest and the weakest individuals from the community gets accomodation and care.

6 hours later Aamirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shift is over and he goes to have lunch together with his friend Jukka who is making his shift at a design studio in the neighboring building.

12:15 Our Neighborhood | Copyright ÂŠ Joksu

The design studio is located in an old industrial building which is renovated in order to meet current needs.

Aamir and Jukka meet in the common garden…

…at the Our Neighborhood Plaza!

They decide to go to ‘LoCAL by Granny and Grandpa’ to have lunch.

‘LoCAL by Granny and Grandpa’ is a restaurant where local retired people have the chance to earn extra income by serving meals to the community.

Today the food is prepared by Lena and Salvatore…

…who live in a nice and cozy 5th floor elderly apartment.

The restaurant itself is run by entrepreneur Pentti, who also lives in the building.

Unfortunately he is undergoing a divorce with his second wife and they are just about to divide their big 4th floor family apartment in to two separate apartments. This makes it easier for them to take care of their children while still living new separate lifes.

Back to Aamir again. After lunch Aamir and Jukka decide to go to the ground floor common space to play a quick telecommunication game with Aamirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin Radi who lives in Mogadishu.

12:55 Our Neighborhood | Copyright ÂŠ Joksu

The common space is a great place for these kind of telecommunication games and also for other social activities such as neighborhood dinners, reading clubs, afternoon clubs and community meetings.

Our Neighborhood | Copyright ÂŠ Joksu

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afternoon and Aamir and Jukka is at school. In the meantime the common garden fills with life. The animals come out from the animal shelter and the neighborhood cow says MOOOOOO.

15:30 Our Neighborhood | Copyright ÂŠ Joksu

Aamirs mother Shamilah’s helps her divorcing neighbor Pentti by taking home both her own and Pentti’s kids from the ground floor kindergarten and then by preparing dinner for them. Pentti in turn helps Shamilah with Finnish bureaucracy.

Once again, back to Aamir. He comes home from soccer practice in the evening and meets Salvatore in the staircase. They decide to have sauna together.

20:30 Our Neighborhood | Copyright ÂŠ Joksu

After having sauna they share a cold drink while looking at the beatiful view from the top floor winter garden.

At half past ten Aamir is finally in his bedâ&#x20AC;Ś

surfaces in order to allow flexible use for functions such as cultivation, parking, and events.

The buildings are based on a modular one design principle. However, the design allows for customizing each building to fit in its surroundings.
