Founded in 1998 by four partners, JKMM is currently designing several important public buildings in Finland. Their goal is to create buildings with exceptional architectural and technical quality, putting traditional wooden oar locks alongside BIM – Building Information Modeling – as exemplar models and tools in the design process. For them, buildings are designed for people, and should be at their best even after decades of use.
Recently completed are the new, light and spacious Turku Library, and the expansive Verkkatehdäs Culture and Congress Centre in Hämeenlinna, a massive conversion of an old factory complex boasting a number of venue-spaces and highly-advanced acoustics.
