Ratamestarinkatu 9, Helsinki
In the renovation of the office building at Ratamestarinkatu 9, completed in 1984, circular economy was significantly promoted, as over 90% of the building's demolition material was reused.
The renovation included the renewal of the building's facades, roofs, and courtyard decks. To improve the building's energy efficiency, all facade surfaces, windows, and the outer glass sections of the metal-framed exterior glass walls, as well as the roofs, were renewed up to the load-bearing structure. The HVAC machine rooms were renovated and raised to improve indoor air conditions, and provisions were made for solar panels on the roof. ONE Architects (part of AINS Group) was responsible for the main and architectural design of the project: https://www.onearchitects.fi/ Photos: Mikael Linden
