Mandawork s and Hospe r Sweden were just awarded this past week with the third prize in
the open int ernational arc hitectural competition in Mikkeli, Finland. From 107 proposals
submitted last October, Mandaworks and Hosper Swede n were on e of five teams selected
to continue work in t he s econ d sta ge. Mikkeli is a medium-sized municipality with 80,000inhabitants, most of whom live in the urban area Mikkeli. Their challenge was to find a
model for how Mikkeli can densify around and best utilize the lakefront in an ecologically
sensitive & holistically sustainable way. More images and architects’ description after the
break.
Stretching for self-sufficiency, Resilient Mikkeli binds together the new lakefront in a
symbiosis of diversity with form fitting landscapes. Ranging from performing wetlands to an
inter-woven civic promenade, the l akefront is alive with ac tivity. W ith innovative public and
private spaces that engage local residents, recognize seasonal variation, and immerse
residents in nature, our strategy is to create 5 self-sufficient zones around the central lake
of Satamalahti. Defined by the existing landscape, each of the individual zones is
composed of a personal block structure that integrates into the existing fabric and terrain.

Mikkeli brings a variety of living types, building typologies, and plot sizes.
Within every development zone, we have developed a self-supporting eco-struct ure. Wit h
designed ecologies fit into the landscape, our proposal stands on four pillars: a connected
water cycle, a balance of energy use and production, an effective waste management cycle,and a closed loop of local production and consumption. The goal is to reach a carbon
neutral development and make Mikkeli’s lakefront a flagship project for a sustainable, hybrid
and self-sufficient city.
From the jury: “The proposal which is rich in ideas and has involved extensive research,
whose ecological approach is one of the most praiseworthy in the competition. Besides
broader green issues at area level, the work has also put particular effort into in-depth
planning at detail level. Illustrative images and cross-sections packed with action and events
captivatingly display the author’s strong sympathetic approach to the landscape and the
local environment.”
