The project was in response to a competition to design a new Guggenheim gallery located by the waterfront in Helsinki.

The design concept is based around the idea of a laminated building, in the tradition of Alvar Aalto's furniture designs.

The intention is that building is very open to the the public, particularly on the lower levels, with the main galleries being on the second, third and fourth floors running through the middle of the building.
