The Lahti Muotohuoltamo Centre represents modern functionalism and was built in 1931 as a service station.
Completed in 2000, designed by architects Hannu Tikka and Kimmo Lintula, the Lahti Sibelius Hall was the largest wooden public building built in Finland in 100 years.
Arkchitect Gert Wingårdh wanted the Piano Pavillion to resemble a ship being set to water, so it is set half on top of the sand and half on water.
