The new campus gathers the towns sports activities, cultural institutions, a new secondary school and creative arts- and music educations in one place....
We are excited to be a part of designing the next generation of hospitals in Hämeenlinna in the Kanta-Häme regional hospital district. Through a cross-disciplinary process, we will take part in designing a hospital that benefits from the beautiful surroundings of the Ahvenisto site and which is closely linked with the landscape. Research has proven various health benefits from being in a green environment, and research clearly shows that a view from a hospital room to a green area reduces recovery time. Through an innovative process of cross-disciplinary meetings and workshops, we will create a modern hospital, where nature and...
Laakson Hospital was originally built as a tuberculosis hospital outside of Helsinki, with a focus on daylight, fresh are and view to the surrounding nature. As Helsinki expanded so did the hospital area, and today the hospital is an incoherent mix of buildings from different periods. Today the areas are not very well utilized, and there is a growing need for expanding the hospital. The plot is surrounded by the city and space is limited. Our task will be to point out what should be preserved, and how we can add new building volumes in a gentle way that respects the...

The new square will connect the two areas and form the heart of the neighborhood....

Great opening of the new landscape around Mariendalshallen at Frederiksberg! As the red ribbon was cut - a group of small children instantly started to conquer the hills, climbing the fitness equipment, playing tag using the new asphalt pattern and sliding down the high hill dragging along each other. Based on their reaction we consider the project to be a success!...
We had the official hand-over today – and the project look exactly as we imagined! The project is courtyard between the old parish hall and the newly built extension. We choose the beautiful Gotland brick in an extra long format, and it was definitely the right material to tie together new and old. It fits perfectly in the historical environment at Gundsømagle Church. ...
