JKMM Architects

JKMM Architects is a group of architects and designers based in Helsinki, Finland. They started in 1998 with four founding partners – Asmo Jaaksi, Teemu Kurkela, Samuli Miettinen and Juha Mäki-Jyllilä. Today, they are a team of more than 90 people.

They offer a complete service across all areas and scales from architecture to interiors and furniture design. Over the years they have won 92 prizes in design competitions, including 44 first prizes, making them one of Finland’s most successful architectural offices.

Their work is rooted in simplicity, craftsmanship and experimentation. They believe the best solutions are often disarmingly simple. Distinctive architecture is the result of uncompromising pursuit of quality – as well as flexibility and improvisation. Quality is also about putting people first. They see theirselves as craftspeople: architectural beauty is the outcome of the exquisite treatment of materials.
