Habitare Build Lab
Construction and renovation exhibition area
Habitare Build Lab – the new meeting ground for construction and restoration
Habitare Build Lab introduces a wholly new, practice-driven concept at the heart of Habitare – a space where construction and interior professionals, consumers and brands come together under one roof. Spanning 375 m², the Lab functions as a living learning environment: a place where knowledge circulates, ideas are tested and the best solutions are shared.
Habitare Build Lab showcases a better way to build: uniting modernity and tradition, aesthetics and technical expertise, circularity and high-quality execution.
The Habitare Build Lab is designed by one of Finland’s most renowned interior designers, Laura Seppänen, founder of LS Design Agency.
