THE RENEWAL OF THE HANSAKORTTELI SHOPPING CENTRE, COMPLETED AT THE END OF 2019, IMPROVED THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE SHOPPING CENTRE AND ITS INTERNAL CONNECTIONS.

WE IMPLEMENTED THE PLANNING IN COLLABORATION WITH DESIGN AGENCY AMERIKKA OY.

The focus was on the large-scale and impressive alteration of the Hansatori square. The objective of the planning was to offer even better customer experiences by making the facilities more enjoyable and easier to navigate with functional improvements. New promenade connections improved the smoothness of customer flows, and the updated shop corridor outlines improved the visibility of business premises.

The overall look of the shopping centre was enhanced with new shopfronts, suspended ceilings and floors. Special attention was paid to lighting, signage, acoustics and accessibility. The renewal also introduced certain wow factors, sitting areas and other furnishings as well as new toilets and childcare rooms.
