The Rettig Group’s headquarters on Boulevard were built in 1880 and originally served as a brewery’s warehouse. In connection with a renovation in 1990, the warehouse building was converted into office space that needed renovation after years. In connection with the renovation, the aim was to modernize the historic building, improve the comfort of the premises and make the premises more in line with modern working methods.

Lasiliiri Oy delivered glass elements for the partitions of the site in cooperation with HSL-Group. Sound-insulated Optiphon glasses were utilized in the head office’s office space, which conveys the feeling of an open space, but also guarantees the required peace of mind.
