A new balcony concept was developed, a so-called dice balcony cast in one piece of concrete. The cube-like balconies break down the monotony of the tall building and enliven the facade with their play of light and shadow. The mostly prefabricated structural frame and the integration of HVAC systems in the structural frame substantially reduced the time needed on the construction site. ONE Architects (Part of AINS Group) were responsible for the main and architectural design of the project: https://www.onearchitects.fi/ Photo: Kuvatoimisto Kuvio Oy
