A’DAM

Case overview

Originally a mono-functional office tower for 350 employees, A’DAM is now a multi-functional building visited by around 3,000 people each day, nearly ten times the number it was originally designed for. To accommodate this increase, the developers chose to completely modernize the elevator management and destination control systems, turning to KONE for the project.
