The Many Makers of a Monument
The Mall of Tripla, which was opened in Pasila, Helsinki, in 2019, is one of the largest construction projects ever launched in Finland. We sat down with five of the key designers to discuss the experiences brought along by the work.
Headquarters No More
The headquarters of the Kesko Corporation was completed in 1940, forming a gate and landmark to the Katajanokka district of Helsinki. The interiors behind the building’s protected facades have now been converted into unique apartments and a hotel.

Building a Better World – Piece by Piece
The first question architect Heikki Lamusuo and artist Jaana Partanen ask when starting a new project is who will experience it and what feeling they want to evoke with their work.
Margarine Factory Atmospheres
Housed within the Finnish state’s old margarine factory today, are 31 apartments designed by Talli Architecture & Design.
Harmoniously Accessible
Barrier-free accessibility guided all aspects of the design of Vocational College Live in Espoo.
Created Together
A new house in the old village of Voutila draws influences from the surrounding history and materials.
Updating the Toolbox
In addition to their own design projects, Geometria Architecture also assists other designers in the utilisation of digital technologies and the implementation of more complex projects.
