In resident surveys and workshops, it has been revealed that some residents of Martinlaakso perceive the area around the station and the underpass tunnel beneath the railway as restless, dim, and messy. Some view the station area as problematic, believing it has a negative impact on the area's image. Incidents of open drug use and trade have been reported in the station area, prompting a desire for change and improvement in the vicinity of the station.
The building complex brings together the urban space divided by the railway at the station area, harmonising both in architecture and through the leafy passage under the railway.
