Atrain is located in Verkkosaari, a former industrial port area in Helsinki. This visually unified residential block is divided into five sites and three different housing ownership companies. One of which is Hitas owner-occupied housing, the second is Heka right-of-occupancy housing, and the third is Ara rental housing. Names like Verkkosaari (net island) and Kalasatama (fish port) have played a big part in remembering the seagoing history of the area. A Helsinki tradition from the 19th century, to give city blocks individual names, has been revived in Kalasatama, and the block of this project is called Atrain (a trident).
