Introduction We design human experiences and make the values and visions of our clients understandable and visible. ​ AteljÊ Sotamaa is an international design and architecture studio founded and directed by brother and sister Kivi Sotamaa and Tuuli Sotamaa.

The studio has realized projects in Finland, Sweden, England, Italy, USA, Japan, China and Kazakhstan Based out of studio in Helsinki we create buildings, spaces, objects, infrastructure and artworks that change the way people think, feel and behave.

We use ingenuity and digital technology to design projects that are unique, affordable and buildable.

We also conduct research exploring the creative relationship of the designed environment and people.

We combine experiential design with criticality and responsibility.

AteljĂŠ Sotamaa is an international design and architecture studio, founded by brother and sister Kivi Sotamaa & Tuuli Sotamaa.

We exist in a web of connections over which ideas and expertise are exchanged and spread, and from which game-changing innovation emerges.

Our work benefits from years of design research conducted at institutions such as the UCLA Architecture & Urban Design, ADD Aalto University Digital Design laboratory, The Ohio State University and the University of Applied Arts Vienna and Ocean North. ​ e are driven by a fascination with sensation, W how people experience design. In order to make experiences seamless the studio designs projects holistically, across scale and media.

We have realized buildings, interiors, exhibition architectures, public sculptures, and products. We have over one hundred different lighting, and furniture in production.

In addition to design work we have curated exhibitions, and organised over 50 international events for cultural institutions, companies, and universities in order to contribute to international design culture, and discourse.

Between the two of us, we have 40 years of experience in complex, high profile, culturally significant projects. We have worked with renown museums, cultural institutions and corporations as well as private clients.

Architectural environments must appeal to our emotions, and seduce us into exploring new ways of being in the world.

New experiences and intellectual stimulation is what contemporary luxury is at its best.

Atmospheric workspaces support innovation and creativity.

'ADD pioneered the idea of a collaborative research platform dedicated to the digital paradigm at the Aalto University. It offered a place of retreat and experimentation for designers, artists, engineers and scientists alike. A space of possibilities, as often recited in mathematics, ADD was made to serve as a point of exchange between the different disciplines, leaving room for both reasoning and intuition as well as concrete and abstract work.'

Exciting architecture creates stages for a good life.

'The smart home of the Finnish studio Ateljé Sotamaa in not so much a prefabricated system as a philosophy for living. It blends into the landscape, integrating nature and technology, and defines new neighborly relations'.

ABITARE 550 Being Open to Everything Around Us by Knud Walter.

"Other innovative projects included the recently launched architecture enterprise Atelier House, by brother-sister duo Ateljé Sotamaa. The designers have conjured up the ideal answer to creating dream holiday homes made purely out of wood.

Starting from sketches and then moving to 3D digital models, they allow clients to engage in every step of the design process, with the aim of creating affordable bespoke homes. The project is currently focusing on houses located on islands near Helsinki, with prototype models made of locally and sustainably sourced spruce and birch. Also being furniture designers, Ateljé Sotamaa can even kit out the houses’ interiors. It’s the full package."

Sensations combined with criticality and responsibility can be used to trigger cultural change.

'Spherical 'cricket lamps' hang above quests as they dine. The insects climb on 3D printed scaffolds and feed via glass inserts that extend outside the circular silhouette. More than an audiovisual spectacle, on-site habitats offer an opportunity for the chefs to test how feeding influences crickets flavor, and act as a starting point for a conversation.'

Holistic design creates seamless experiences.

The holistically designed Finnjävel restaurant proved that bold investment in design can help make a business succesful. Finnjävel became a highly profitable fine dining restaurant and a culinary phenomenon in Finland. It was awarded the Culinary Culture Award by the Elo Foundation.

'In this manner, Finnjävel foregrounded the importance of embodied experience, the fact that architecture must be physically experienced. The merging of food, design, architecture, narrative, and music created a mood and a physical, multisensorial experience. The Finnjävel experience was not about just drinking and eating; it was about an embracing aesthetics - and about the chefs, sommeliers and waiters preparing the service from their hearts. The restaurant as a whole, its immaterial as well as material and human aspects, revolved around the experience of the guests.'

SAC Journal 4/2018. Finnjävel - A Theatre of Gastronomy

'The unique and inventive decor of the restaurant has been created by Ateljé Sotamaa’s awarded designers, Kivi and Tuuli Sotamaa. The aim has been to create an entire restaurant experience, for all the senses. A fun detail is that many decor products designed for Finnjävel, such as the tableware, can also be purchased.'

The combination of digital and analogue design techniques gives a high degree of control over form. The hybrid approach enables sophisticated and detailed design. “Kivi Sotamaa and Johan Bettum (Kivi´s partner in Ocean North) - these two designers combine a deep appreciation for architectural design in terms of materials and construction with a keen awareness of contemporary fashion and design culture. They are without question the most couture of their generation and produce the most stunning and beautiful forms designed on a computer�.

Testimonials “It was a great pleasure to work with Ateljé Sotamaa during Astana Expo 2017. Atelje Sotamaa created the Finnish pavilion architecture and exhibition concept under the theme Future Energy/Pure Energy.

Both Tuuli and Kivi have an excellent ability to work with an abundance of ideas, translating a range of possibilities into one concrete reality, with a true sense of creativity and innovative touch.

Their vision is solid and still full of finesse.

Our project was realized in a very tight timeframe.

Ateljé Sotamaa were able to adjust to the demanding project in a very flexible manner.

They committed to the project with their whole heart - and when needed, also worked closely together with the project team on the ground.”

Annikka Alanko, Pavilion Director Finland at Astana Expo 2017

--'“It is easy and inspiring to work with Tuuli and Kivi Sotamaa. They are passionate and the way they work creates an inspiring atmosphere which also sparks the client. It is easy to work with the Sotamaas as they also stay within the budget, which often brings creative results to the project in hand” Samuil Angelov, Sommelier, Restauranteur Finnjävel, Muru, Pastis

The process was long and could not have been as successful as it was without Tuuli and Kivi Sotamaa’s excellent project management skills and way of working together with us. I especially valued their ability to express their views and interprete them in concrete plans and steps. They also have very constructive approach to problem solving.
