The Tapiola Central Tower (Finnish: Tapiolan keskustorni) is a high-rise building at the centre of the Tapiola garden city in northeastern Espoo, Finland. The tower is 49 metres (161 ft) high and has 13 floors. It has a total floor space of 5,600 m2 (60,000 sq ft). The tower was designed by architect Aarne Ervi and it was completed in 1961. Construction of the tower started in 1958.[1] The tower was originally known as Konttoritorni ("office tower").[2]
Originally the bottom floors of the tower hosted business spaces, while the top floors hosted offices and bureaus. The twelfth floor hosted restaurant Linnunrata for a long time. The top floor is contracted and hosted panorama restaurant Kultakukko.[3]
The Tapiola Central Tower is coated with enameled steel.[3]
Many scenes in 1960s-era Finnish films where shot at the panorama restaurant of the Tapiola Central Tower.
