Hämeenlinna Theater

Hämeenlinna Theater is situated in an old industrial district, Verkatehdas area. The area is a collection of buildings and building types that have, over time, expanded and modified quite freely when the functions and requirements have changed. Re-use of old areas and additional construction of new buildings are a natural part of a dynamic model of this urban heritage area.

The new theater building is an essential addition to the chain of public spaces in Verkatehdas area. The building houses 350 seat theater, lobby spaces, restaurant and business facilities. Theater stage tower creates a visible and recognizable landmark. Dark concrete facades will add to the area’s rich material palette. Inside the theater the dialogue between the old and the new building is present in a tangible way.
