Log home manufacturer Honkarakenne Ltd. and Bluet Ltd., a specialist in floating infrastructure and waterfront developments, have entered into a collaboration aimed at providing clients with a broader network of expertise and trusted partners for floating projects in Finland and internationally.
The collaboration combines Honkarakenne’s internationally recognized know-how in timber construction and Bluet’s extensive experience in floating infrastructure, floating structures, floating pool and waterfront development projects.
Together, the companies can offer clients an integrated project team where both parties focus on their core expertise. Clients gain access to both floating infrastructure expertise and high-quality timber construction solutions without the need to assemble multiple specialist suppliers independently.
The collaboration may support projects such as floating residential environments, leisure developments, sauna and wellness facilities, marina and clubhouse concepts, restaurants, and other projects located on or alongside water.
“We are seeing a clear shift in the market. Clients increasingly look for experienced project teams rather than individual suppliers. Bluet’s role remains focused on floating infrastructure, floating foundations, and waterfront development. Partnering with Honka allows us to offer our clients access to a trusted and proven network that also covers the building component of a project. Instead of assembling multiple specialists separately, clients gain access to a project team that is designed to work together from the outset,” says Tytti Sirola, CEO of Bluet Ltd.
For Honkarakenne, the collaboration creates opportunities to participate in a new generation of waterfront and floating developments together with one of the most experienced floating infrastructure specialists in the industry.
“Floating developments create exciting opportunities for housing, tourism, hospitality, and wellness services. Bluet has built strong expertise in floating infrastructure and waterfront development over many years. This collaboration enables us to bring Honka’s timber construction know-how into new operating environments while providing clients with a strong and reliable project team for even the most demanding projects,” says Markus Saarelainen, B2B Sales Director at Honkarakenne Ltd.
FIRST JOINT REFERENCE PROJECT IN HELSINKI
The first visible outcome of the collaboration will be the Floating Showroom in Verkkosaari, Helsinki.
The showroom will serve as a demonstration, development, and reference platform for future projects. It will showcase how floating infrastructure, high-quality timber construction, and a carefully selected partner ecosystem can be combined into a successful waterfront development.
The showroom is part of a broader development program that also includes a Marina & Sauna Club concept and a future floating residential district.
Verkkosaari will serve as an important reference for future domestic and international projects as well as a platform for developing new concepts and partnerships.
The long-term objective is to establish a collaboration model where both parties focus on their respective core competencies while delivering greater value together than either could achieve independently.
