The eastern historic working-class city district of Kallio is known for its special ambience. The varied and colourful history of Kallio has served as the inspiration for the design of the Kallio conference rooms at Paasitorni, consisting of meeting rooms Karhupuisto, Brahenkenttä, and Hakaniementori, and the adjoining foyer. Paying tribute to the history of the district and people of Kallio is the permanent exhibition of the noted street photographer Kasperi Kropsu, whose work parallels that of Henri Cartier-Bresson. The light and metal tube installations referencing Kallio and its iconic landmarks bring added character to the space.
The spacious foyer can be used for event registration, a small-scale exhibition as well as coffee breaks and cocktail parties, serving all the events rooms on the 3rd floor (Pitkäsilta, Karhupuisto, Brahenkenttä and Hakaniementori). With its visual references to the surrounding district of Kallio, the Kallio group of spaces provides a unique setting for various special events.
The stair landing leading to the foyer can also be used for event registration or additional exhibition space.
