Nemea at the 2026 Lempäälä Housing Fair
Villa Sydän featured Lumillio Nemea planters at the Lempäälä Housing Fair, held from 10 July to 9 August 2026. The project paired light-finished timber planters with integrated soft lighting, bringing material detail and evening illumination into the planting arrangement.
With the fair now concluded, Villa Sydän remains a project reference for considering planters alongside a home’s facade and terrace. The focus is the combination of timber, planting and light, and how those elements relate to the surrounding architecture.
Light-Finished Thermory Radiata Pine
The Nemea planters featured at Villa Sydän were made from Thermory thermally treated radiata pine with a light finish. Their vertical grain complemented the facade, connecting the appearance of the planters with the building.
When selecting a planter for a terrace, finish and grain direction deserve attention alongside the adjacent facade. At Villa Sydän, the light finish and vertical grain were defining characteristics of the installed Nemea planters.
Explore the Nemea collection for the collection behind this project. A new design brief should identify its preferred material appearance without assuming every setting needs to repeat Villa Sydän’s approach.
Soft Lighting for Terrace Evenings
Integrated soft lighting highlighted the planting and terrace in the evenings. It added an evening dimension to a project whose daytime character was shaped by the timber finish and its relationship with the facade.
For another residential project, this suggests a practical question: how should the planting look once daylight fades? Considering that question alongside material selection makes the evening setting part of the brief from the beginning.
Developing a Similar Project
Villa Sydän offers a reference, not a fixed specification for another home. Start with the facade, the intended planting and the terrace’s evening context, then discuss how the planter finish and lighting could fit that setting.
