The so-called Hip flask houses are a group of four apartment buildings built in 1959 and 1961 in the Länsikorkee area of the Tapiola district in Espoo, Finland. The buildings have nine floors each and are 30 metres high. They were designed by architect Viljo Revell. The Hip flask houses dominate the appearance of the area and have become a sort of symbol of Tapiola. The Tapiola area is a culturally significant architecture area and the Hip flask houses are among the landmarks of the area.The two first houses, As. Oy Säästökontu and As. Oy Tornitaso were built in 1959. These two houses are the northernmost. Säästökontu was one of the first housing savings targets in Finland. The other two houses, As. Oy Tornikontu and As. Oy Nelostorni were built in 1961. The houses were referred to as the "Hip flask houses" even before they had been completed, in September 1957. The total floor area of the buildings is 3220 square metres and each floor has a surface area of 358 square metres. The lots of the buildings range from 1100 to 2050 square metres in area. The collective formed by the buildings also includes As. Oy Riistakallio built in 1961, an oblong lamella building with five floors.The slender, hexagonal form of the buildings was accomplished by building the facades as convex in the middle and bending the angles of the buildings as concave. The vertical ditches in the corners emphasise the rise of the mass. The top floors are emphasised by separate roofs. The longer facades are clad in horizontal Minerit emphasised with teak grids and window panes. The balconies are located on the inside of the outer facades and thus blend in into the facade.The buildings have seven apartment floors with seven to eight apartments per floor. The top floor of each building has a sauna, a panorama terrace, ventilation balconies and drying cabinets. The kitchens of the apartments were advanced at the time of construction, as they included kitchen hoods and the kitchen cupboards were detached from the floor.

Niittykumpu (Finnish) or Ängskulla (Swedish) is a district of Espoo, a city in Finland. The districts belongs to the major district of Suur-Tapiola. The district, partly located on the eastern lands of the former Gräsa manor, started developing along with the rest of southern Espoo in the 1930s when the street Jorvaksentie (now known as the Länsiväylä highway) was completed. The first significant construction phase of Niittykumpu happened during the 1960s and 1970s, when a large number of terraced houses were built in the area because of rapid growth of the city of Espoo. Construction slowed down during the early 1990s depression in Finland. Construction picked up pace again in the 2000s and increased even further during the construction of the Länsimetro transport line. The oldest lower stage primary school, the Niittykumpu school, is located in Niittykumpu. The automobile dealership concentration around the street Merituulentie has been called "the automobile street of Espoo", even though some of the dealerships have slowly moved away from Niittykumpu because of further construction of Länsimetro. At the turn from 2021 to 2022 Niittykumpu had a population of 7,085 and a population density of 3,374 people per square kilometre. Niittykumpu is served by the Länsimetro line belonging to the trunk routes of the Helsinki Regional Transport Authority, and the Niittykumpu metro station is located in connection with the metro centre located in southern part of the district and the shopping centre Niitty.

Länsiväylä (the Western Highway, Swedish: Västerleden) is a motorway in the Greater Helsinki area of Finland, mainly at the Helsinki conurbation. It is part of the Finnish national road 51. The road begins in Ruoholahti in western Helsinki and continues west through the island of Lauttasaari and then across the city border to Espoo. The Länsiväylä road continues all the way throughout the southern part of Espoo. It continues as a motorway until finally crossing the border west to Kirkkonummi. At the start of Länsiväylä is the Lapinlahti bridge built in 1965, which was the longest bridge in Finland for a long time. In September 2013 the average daily traffic over the bridge was 56,710 cars, according to calculations by the city of Helsinki.Länsiväylä is perhaps the most important connection between the cities of Helsinki and Espoo. Almost all bus and private car traffic between central Helsinki and southern Espoo (such as the Tapiola and Otaniemi districts) passes along Länsiväylä. Along with the beltways Ring I and Ring III, it is one of the roads with heaviest traffic in the country. It was constructed as a motorway and compared to the beltways, has been much better suited to heavy traffic. An extensive bus rapid transit network utilizes Länsiväylä, using special bus lanes. However, the Länsimetro extension of the Helsinki Metro, which was completed in autumn 2017, replaced most bus routes on Länsiväylä. A similar road, the Itäväylä (Eastern Highway, Swedish: Österleden) begins at Sörnäinen and continues eastwards towards Sipoo.
