"The site is located at a beautiful lakeshore with cultural and historical values. Unfortunately, farming activities have declined recently in rural areas. We want to preserve the natural characteristics of Tuusula and advocate for a new urban- rural lifestyle. We introduced the concept of nature-based landscape design and flexible development framework. The first phase should begin with temporal festivals to reactivate local community. The old farming facilities will incorporate with new landscape elements to provide experimental space for coming creative entrepreneurs."
