249 leiligheter med havutsikt

The REDI Loisto Tower, part of the REDI complex in Helsinki, Finland, rises to a height of 124 meters. Completed in 2020, this 32-floor residential skyscraper boasts 249 spacious apartments, each featuring a higher-than-usual ceiling height of almost three meters. The tower is positioned on the eastern tip of the REDI complex, providing residents with stunning, unobstructed views in multiple directions, from Katajanokka to Suomenlinna, and extending out to the open sea.

Utfordrende facadekonstruksjon

KG Constructions Group undertook the task of constructing the unitized facade, encompassing a total area of 10,800 square meters. The facade includes unique shadow boxes, adding depth to the appearance by creating a cavity behind the glazing. The construction also faced challenges such as HVAC units with stringent fire resistance requirements, which were pre-assembled in the factory, and maintaining tightness in the intricate geometry of the facade's planes, especially at the 22nd floor where the planes change.

Materialevalg og prosjektpartnere

The materials used for the facade were selected for their quality and durability. These include low iron oxide content glasses with silk-screen strips, capable of withstanding wind loads up to 3.6 kPa. The project's main contractor was SRV Construction Ltd, who also co-developed the project along with Ilmarinen Mutual Pension, LocalTapiola, and the OP-Pohjola Group. The facade was designed by Helin & Co Arkkitehdit, contributing to the building's modern and distinctive aesthetic.
