JKMM Architects

JKMM Architects works from Helsinki and describes its task as building the infrastructure of happiness. Founded in 1998, the studio employs nearly eighty designers and keeps architecture, interior architecture, urban design, furniture, graphic design and art inside one practice, so that each project is resolved as a whole.

Its designs follow principles the studio sets out plainly: inspired by nature, human touch, simple but intelligent, and a belief that the built work counts more than talk. Amos Rex in Helsinki, the new terminal at Helsinki Airport, the Kalasatama school and daycare, and the interiors of Lahti library show the range, from museum and transport building to learning environments.
