Kalevanrinne residential buildings, Tampere

In the design of the Kalevanrinne area, a central goal was to ensure that the new buildings and underground parking facilities fit in with the surroundings and contribute to a harmonious and functional urban environment. The district already housed business, office, and maintenance premises and warehouses built in the 1960´s and 1970´s. The blocks of flats are located in the vicinity of the Sammonkatu tram route, the Kalevanharju district, and a commercial district undergoing development. In the main, the buildings have nine floors. In the central portion of the linked-buildings entity, the parking halls were built via the in-situ casting method and contain post-tensioned structures.
