B & M Architects

For a young architectural office B&M architects have been fortunate to have had the possibility to work on the whole scene of architecture, both in Finland and abroad. Projects have varied from New Cities to Detail design, including Administrative Centres, Housing areas, Public and Private buildings, Apartements, Traffic areas and Urban landscapes.

In Finland, the main works include Buildings, Masterplans and other Urban Design Projects.

All of the projects have been done in close co-operation with Finnish or international consulting companies.

B&M architects have have taken succesfully part in architectural competitions both nationally and internationally. Works have been published in many international architectural magazines.
