A community-focused rental building for all ages in Hervanta, Tampere
The Afrikanpiha building in Hervanta has 50 apartments, ranging from studios to four-room family homes.
Out of 50 apartments, 16 are reserved for those over 55. Apartments range from studios to four-room units (31 – 68.5 m2).
The building, with its block courtyards, is designed so that residents of different ages can naturally meet each other – if they wish. The building has seven above-ground floors, a basement, and an underground parking garage on level -2, with direct elevator access from the residential building. The Hervanta residential area offers excellent services, and a tram stop is right next door.
High-quality materials
The apartments feature durable light oak laminate flooring and light-painted walls. Plenty of natural light flows into the rooms through the windows. Bathrooms are tiled with stylish grey and white tiles.
The kitchens are high-quality and modern. The space includes a fridge-freezer, stove, and dishwasher. The backsplash is easy-to-clean laminate. The apartments offer waste sorting facilities for seven different types of waste.
All apartments have a glazed balcony.
Solutions considering the elderly
In apartments designed for those over 55, attention has been paid to the usability of the apartment over the long term, as the resident ages. You can prepare for the future, even if you are currently in peak condition.
Particular emphasis has been placed on accessibility in apartments for seniors. For example, kitchens have adjustable-height upper cabinets to suit the resident’s needs. An aid storage room, for instance, for rollators, is conveniently located next to the elevator on the ground floor. All common areas are also accessible.
