kerrostalomäärä

Kerrostalomäärä refers to the number of floors in a building, specifically in a multi-story residential building or apartment block, commonly known as a kerrostalo in Finnish. This term is a direct translation of "number of floors" and is used to describe the vertical dimension of such structures.

When discussing or comparing buildings, the kerrostalomäärä is a fundamental characteristic. It influences factors such as the building's overall height, the volume of living space it contains, and the complexity of its construction and maintenance. A building with a higher kerrostalomäärä will generally be taller and accommodate more residential units than one with fewer floors.

The kerrostalomäärä can vary significantly. Low-rise apartment buildings might have only a few floors, while high-rise buildings can have dozens. This number is often a key consideration in urban planning, architectural design, and real estate valuation. For example, zoning regulations in some areas may limit the maximum kerrostalomäärä allowed to maintain aesthetic consistency or manage population density. In real estate listings, the kerrostalomäärä is usually provided to give potential buyers or renters a quick understanding of the property's scale.
