The focus is on residents&#8217; comfort, architecture, and the surrounding nature. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 Alppikyl\u00e4 was a natural choice for us as a competition candidate, because the architecturally distinctive area, surrounded by nature, is known for its neighborly spirit and strong sense of community, says Setlementtiasunnot&#8217;s CEO <strong>Suvi Tuomala.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 In all our buildings, we invest in community spirit, but in our Alppikyl\u00e4 building, it is particularly vibrant, says Suvi Tuomala.<\/p>\n\n<p>Residents, among other things, organize yard work parties, cultivate shared garden boxes, and help each other with daily tasks.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 They also run a food waste distribution service for the area&#8217;s residents. Over 100 food bags are delivered weekly to homes in need, Suvi Tuomala explains. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winner to be announced in September<\/h2>\n\n<p>It was possible to participate in the NBO Housing Award competition with a one-minute video. There are 19 candidates, seven of whom are from Finland. The diverse and vibrant Alppikyl\u00e4 is the only residential area in Helsinki among these.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The competition is organized by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbo.nu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Housing Nordic \u2013 NBO<\/a>, a collaborative organization of owners of affordable rental and right-of-occupancy housing in the Nordic countries.
