Syöte Visitor Centre is a part of the national park with the same name and acts as the starting point when you arrive at the park.
This way all visitors of the area can learn about the local species before they enter into the nature park.
The visitor center uses hands-on exhibits and audio guides to make learning about the exhibits exciting and accessible for all.
Besides the exhibition, the building also houses an auditorium and a cafe.
The trickiest part about producing this exhibition was the remote and isolated location of the park. Should we need anything from a building store, we would have had to do a round trip that’s hours long. So the key to avoid that was proper preparation and packing an extra pair of everything we might need.
Looking back now the exhibition turned out both looking good, and also feeling well put together and connecting all the different parts of the exhibition and the visitor center as a whole.
I worked with Motor OÜ in the renewal project of Syöte Visitor Centre's main exhibition, lobby areas, café, and auditorium. Motor successfully brought our vision for the nature exhibition to life and also contributed their own ideas to the design process. The new exhibition has received very positive feedback from visitors of the Syöte Visitor Centre.
We built showcases and structures to first celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the Lahti Ski Club and then be used for later exhibitions in the future.
A permanent exhibition in a children’s museum that combines playful exploration with learning and development inside a safe environment.
