Leppävaara tower

Because of lack of space, the patio was built on top of the side wing, and was protected with glass walls because of noise.

[4] On the very top of the building is a helicopter landing platform, allowing rescue of tenants in case of fire.

The original plan had specified 16 floors for the building, like in the Panorama Tower located across the railway track.

Because of this, the main architect sought a change in the zoning plan to increase the number of floors to 20, so that it height would almost correspond to that of the Panorama Tower.

As well as this, Enterprixe Oy made a floor-by-floor production model of the Leppävaara tower, which was used in the construction.

[10] The base of the lot is loose clay and so the foundation had to be supported with beams, which numbered 58 in total.

The ground had no sideways stability, so the building had to be anchored into the rock with tensed diagonal cables.

The facades on the bottom two floors use natural granite slabs, and partly sandwich and surface elements.
