"Kirkkonummi is a municipality of 40,000 inhabitants near Helsinki built around its Medieval stone church."
"JKMM have therefore emphasised the relationship of the library with the neighbouring church by designing a 50-metre long sheltered terrace overlooking the church yard."
"The copper shingle cladding of the new library, called Fyyri, also relates back to its maritime heritage setting."
"Together with the nearby open market, the church and library create the civic centre of Kirkkonummi."
Kirkkonummi is a municipality of 40,000 inhabitants near Helsinki organized around a Medieval stone church. JKMM transformed the old city library into a new facility called Fyyri facing the church. The church, library and nearby open market together form the civic centre of Kirkkonummi. The design emphasises the relationship between the library and the neighbouring church through a 50-metre-long sheltered terrace that overlooks the church yard. The library's copper shingle cladding references Kirkkonummi's maritime heritage. The project integrates civic functions and local history to strengthen public space and community identity.
