Keilaniemi NEXT: AGC Glass Solutions for Fiskars Group’s New Headquarters in Finland

November 9, 2026

Keilaniemi NEXT, located in Espoo, Finland, is a contemporary office development designed to accommodate the headquarters of Fiskars Group. The project combines a distinctive architectural identity with a workplace environment shaped around daylight, comfort and the performance of the building envelope.

Glass is a defining element of the façade, balancing transparency and natural light with solar control. The glazing specification incorporates two products from AGC Glass Europe: Stratobel Ipasol Neutral 70/37 and Ipasol Neutral 70/37.

Ipasol Neutral 70/37 is a solar-control glass designed to limit solar heat entering the building while maintaining high levels of natural daylight. With a light transmittance of approximately 70% and a solar factor of 37%, the product helps reduce unwanted solar gains without compromising the brightness of interior spaces.

In the Keilaniemi NEXT façade, the solar-control coating is combined with Stratobel laminated safety glass. This configuration brings together solar performance and the additional safety characteristics of laminated glazing, while retaining a neutral external appearance.

The selection reflects an important consideration in contemporary office architecture: achieving a balance between daylight availability and indoor thermal comfort. By managing solar radiation, high-performance glazing can help reduce cooling demand, although the building’s overall energy performance also depends on orientation, shading, façade design and mechanical systems.

The project was developed by NCC Property Development Oy, with architectural design by Sarc + Sigge Architects. Through its glazing specification, Keilaniemi NEXT demonstrates how solar-control and laminated glass can contribute to the functional and architectural requirements of modern office buildings.
