From the architect. The chocolate company Fazer is one of the best known Finnish brands with a strong heritage. In short, the new visitor center transforms the existing candy factory area into a destination for visitors. 
Site Plan

The new visitor center is a pavilion which becomes the architectonic signature of the area. It is the first object one sees as approaching Fazer village. The entrance front of the whole area will be transformed by means of landscaping.

The raw materials of Fazer products will be strongly present.
