Sammontornit, housing company, Tampere
The project covered two nine-storey blocks of flats built in 1964.

As part of the project, the buildings’ roofs and brick façades were renovated and sheet cladding, which covered some exterior wall areas, and thermal insulation were replaced. Balconies were replaced with larger ones that offer more functional spaces to residents. In the design of the new balconies, the diagonal shape of the original balconies was retained. Canopies and glazing were added to the top floor balconies. The tiles in the airing balconies were renovated and the railings were replaced. As a result of the renovation project, the appearance of the building improved, thanks to the new façade materials and the change to the roof colour. A-Insinöörit Suunnittelu Oy’s repair engineering unit (KORJ) in Tampere was involved in the building surveys, project planning, and architectural and structural engineering. In addition, AINS Group has previously carried out other surveys in the property, prepared repair plans, and carried out monitoring tasks for a repair project.
