A night in prison with HANSA faucets | Architecture | Architonic

Transferred to the Kakola Group’s ownership in 2015, redesigning the former prison to a high-end home and hotel area meant following strict requirements. After all, the historic site forms a unique entity and covers 50,000-floor square metres of old and protected buildings, subject to supervision by the Finnish Heritage Agency. This meant that all construction plans had to be approved before they could be implemented, a demanding task for the construction of the 260 apartment homes and 150 hotel rooms featured by the project.
