3.5.2021-2.11.2022
Architect
I have carried out tasks in the preliminary design, building permit, and implementation planning phases for renovation and new construction projects. I created construction drawings and permit documentation for two appartment buildings (one consisting of two 6-story concrete sandwich element apartment buildings with a courtyard structure and the other a three-story log building). Using a point cloud as a base, I modeled an old sauna building, redesigned the layout, and prepared permit drawings for the project. I produced construction drawings for an old bank building undergoing renovation.

EXTRACTS FROM UNIVERSITY PROJECTS CONTENTS
01 MUSEUM OF HISTORY AND FUTURE
MISSION:
To design a museum of history and future into Turku.
SWIRL
The design is inspired by the swirls of the sea. Externally, the architecture and material choices of the building are simplified, aiming to engage in a dialogue with the historic Turku Castle while still respecting it in its expression. Urbanistically, the building is intended to become a monumental but history-honoring monument over time, with a timeless design language.
Like a shell, the externally monolithic building hides a surprise within. In the center of the building is a sheltered courtyard with lush vegetation. The courtyard symbolizes the seed of the future, embodying many new beginnings, perhaps most importantly our challenge of addressing climate change.
In the middle of the courtyard is a functionally significant showroom, showcasing the latest and most relevant topics and providing small samples of what the rest of the museum building holds. The courtyard also opens to a cafe’s customer parking, serving a dual purpose of bringing additional light to the lobby and exhibition spaces.

02 FLOATING CAFE
MISSION:
To design a floating cafe on water
In the proposal, the white concrete pier structure folds twice, creating spaces on two levels. The partition walls are left open at the top to emphasize lightness and airiness in the architecture. From the ground-floor café, the customer can take something to go and move to the sofas or rooftop terrace on the second floor.

04 HOUSE OF HERITAGE
MISSION:
Find a suitable vocation for a former suitfactory in Tampere.
ACTIVE MONUMENT
The aim of the Cultural Heritage House is to preserve both intangible and tangible cultural heritage. Intangible cultural heritage includes customs, habits, and skills, along with related artifacts, which are displayed in the house. It is not just a museum but an active monument where not only exhibitions but also various performances and events can be organized, preserving intangible cultural heritage.
04 HOUSE OF HERITAGE
Thanks to the facade cleaning, activation of the inner courtyard, and the addition of two new internal staircases, the former textile factory has become a true gem, showcasing not only the building’s history but also Tampere’s textile industry. The inspiration for the staircases comes from clothing, specifically silk and threads. The inner courtyard, in turn, is a quiet retreat in the midst of the city.

05 BLOCK OF FLATS
MISSION:
To design a block of flats to Klingedahl in Tampere.
The mass and orientation of the building are based on the prevailing conditions on the plot. The glazed balconies are oriented towards the sun.
The apartment building features six different types of floor plans, with the most spacious one convertible from a 4-bedroom to a 5-bedroom unit by merging the adjacent studio. The balconies add extra square footage to the apartments and enhance the overall living comfort. It’s easy to expand dining or lounge space onto the balcony. Alternatively, the balcony can serve as a green room or an additional bedroom in the summer.
05 BLOCK OF FLATS
In the backyard, there is a shared space, for instance, a cultivation plot. On the front side, there is a square designated for pop-up events and performances, along with stairs where one can choose to stay and admire the performances.
