User:Petri Krohn/Ruoholahti mixed-use cooperatives
The Ruoholahti mixed-use cooperatives are a group of housing cooperatives in the Helsinki neighborghood of Ruoholahti. The cooperatives consist of 6 to 7 story blocks of flats.
Apartments are divided between owner occupied flats and social housing rental flats. Two of the buildings also contain "cell" type student dormitories owned by HOAS. As Finnish housing cooperatives have no residency requirement, some of the "resident owned" apartments are in fact leased out at free market rents.
The apartmet buildings follow a layout pioneered by Amalgamated Dwellings in 1930 in Manhattan, with 6 to 7 story blocks around an enclosed courtyard.
