The facade lighting serves as a means to communicate the renovations made inside the building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opened in 1931, Helsinki&#8217;s historic Hotel Torni reopened its doors renewed in spring 2022. Upon its completion, it was Helsinki&#8217;s tallest building and a skyscraper of its time. It remains one of Finland&#8217;s tallest buildings. The hotel also includes the Art Nouveau-style former residential building Kyllikki, which was incorporated into the hotel in the 1980s. The complex is historically significant and prominently located in Helsinki&#8217;s urban landscape.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-dd02924be0b28a5b8c8fcab975af2d26 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-56e8fe82 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-bottom-right-radius:var(--wp--preset--border-radius--default);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--default);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small)\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-bcdff821 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1b11d160 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"964\" src=\"https:\/\/valoa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/laurel-wreath-white.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4626\" style=\"width:90px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>LIT Awards 2023, <\/strong><br\/><strong>Winner<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1b11d160 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"964\" src=\"https:\/\/valoa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/laurel-wreath-white.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4626\" style=\"width:90px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Lighting Project of the Year <\/strong><br\/><strong>2023<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Type<\/strong> <em>Facade Lighting<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong> <em>Helsinki<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Completion Year<\/strong> <em>2022<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Client<\/strong> <em>Sokotel Oy<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The goal was for the building to receive lighting worthy of its status.
