An environmentally sensitive approach is taken by Studio Puisto’s five directors, Mikko Jakonen, Emma Johansson, Sampsa Palva, Heikki Riitahuhta and Willem van Bolderen, who set up shop in Helsinki in 2010. ‘We believe that constructing in a sustainable manner pays off,’ they say. ‘Ecological, economical and social ambitions come together in our work, without compromising on a beautiful and functional end result.’ The studio is part of Uusi Kaupunki, a Finnish urban architecture collective that focuses on sustainability in the broadest sense. Works include the Dream Hotel and the Looveld House, completed in collaboration with Bas van Bolderen.
