Look-Out, residential buildings

Aimo Katajamäki

The walls of the building depict a rich underwater world with fishes and plants. Large swirling waves can be seen from afar, fishes and plants by looking closer. Patterning covers all the concrete surfaces and they were implemented with the graphic concrete technology, developed in Finland. The pattern was built element by element at the same time when house was erected. My wife fished the perches which I drew.
