Ristikko (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈristikːo], literally meaning "lattice") is a shopping center in Helsinki, Finland, built on the premises of Hartwall's former bottle warehouse in the Konala district.[1] It is located near the intersection of busy road connections, Vihdintie (Route 120) and Ring I (Route 101), and buses run to the center of Helsinki, Hakaniemi, Western Vantaa and Northern Espoo, among other places. The name ristikko is rooted in a combination of the building's load-bearing, old and new lattice structures.[1]
