Edit: Looks like the original source of pictures no longer allows hotlinking, so I'll have to use my pics, which don't look as good:

Kone Building is in my opinion one of the better Finnish high-rises, which isn't saying much, though. Together with the headoffices of Fortum, Elisa (a telecommunications company) and Nokia, it forms a small cluster of hightech office buildings.

That is one of the best facades I have ever seen. Too bad it's not taller.

8/10 A nice glass-box, one of the best in Finland :)

8.5/10

I think it's simple and elegant. I like glassy facades! 8.5 from me.

The glass looks like there was a lot of foul water run down the facade leaving light gray marks behind. It loos nasty (imo). Overall it looks good, I like glass. 7.5/10

I like it. For a box it has managed to be elegent, without looking bulky or sqwat even for its size.. should be more towers like this, due to it being generic it means it could easily fit into any city and look good.. :) 8/10

the facade is very nice. though besides that it's hardly interesting 6.5/10

The facade is wodnerful!!!
really!!
stunning!!

It may be quite regular, but since we don't have much these type of highrises in Finland, I give it 8.5.

9/10 very swank indeed!

Very nice - it's almost completely transparent, and that's great :D 9/10

One of the better glassy boxes, it has elegance. 7,5/10

Does it have some sort of stripping on the glass (it seems to be), and is that responsible for the rough 'ice cube' kinda texture??
If so (and it's not just the photograph), very cool.

That is a superbe tower!!! 10/10

10/10 very nice! ;)

Not tall enough to be imposing. Nonetheless very fresh design.

A very nice classy building! I'm a huge fan of glass, so the fact that this building is entirely covered in it, is a great thing! And for Finnish standards, I'll assume this is quite an achievement also with the lack of such modestly tall commercial buildings present there. :)
