Raksila neighbourhood in Oulu

Reorganisation of the current supermarket area by mixing housing and commercial spaces. Creating diverse building typologies and minimizing the negative effects of the traffic in and out of the supermarket. The apartment blocks around the commercial activities adhere to the scale of the centre of Oulu whereas, when approaching the historical wooden parts of Raksila, the new building stock is dominated by town houses.
