Rakennuskohonneen

Rakennuskohonneen is a Finnish term that translates to "building elevation" or "building rise." It refers to the process of increasing the height of an existing building. This can be achieved through various methods, including adding new floors on top of the current structure, or in some cases, raising the entire building on new foundations.

The primary reasons for undertaking a rakennuskohonneen project often include a need for increased space due to population growth, evolving functional requirements, or the desire to maximize the value of a prime urban location. It can be a more sustainable option than demolition and new construction, as it preserves the embodied energy of the original building and can reduce construction waste. However, the structural integrity of the existing building must be carefully assessed to ensure it can support the additional load.

This type of construction requires specialized engineering expertise and careful planning. It can involve temporary support systems to hold the building up while new foundations or structural elements are put in place. The facade and internal services also need to be integrated with the new levels. Rakennuskohonneen is a complex undertaking that demands a thorough understanding of structural engineering, architectural design, and construction logistics.
