Once again, we are more than satisfied with the very visible imprint of designer Jaana Ekman as well as Visionary Design Partners Helsinki in this project. The outcome is simply wonderful. Most importantly, our customers have been thrilled about the renewal. Jaana was able to exceed all of our expectations once again.

Antti Raunio, CEO Npg Ltd.

This renewal project was very challenging, because Apollo is protected by Finland’s National Board of Antiquities. In addition, it would have been too great a risk to do too much modification just for the sake of renewal, because the place has been the town’s most popular nightclub for a long time. Jaana Ekman brought just the right kinds of thoughts to the plans and understood from the above-mentioned constraints. I am sure that now, the completed renewal will ensure our future success and the relapsed Apollo will continue to be the brightest beacon of the adults’ nightclub scene in Helsinki.
