Hakalankatu 10 B, 60100 Seinäjoki Tehtaankatu 29 a, 00150 Helsinki +358 6 4141225 www.lassilahirvilammi.fi Lassila Hirvilammi Architects works on a great variety of different projects: churches, office buildings, housing, private houses, interior design, renovation projects, and urban planning. Our objective is to create projects in which architecture, material and environment work in harmony to form a fucntional, technically and ecologically sustainable whole that is of aesthetically high quality and committed to the locality. It all starts from the material to be used. Our aim is to find the most appropriate methods of design and building techniques for each project. It is about bringing the right people together to contribute each their own valuable input to the entity. We have found it inspiring to work with professionals from different fields in building and construction. For example, we have humbly learned about the secrets of working with wood from the masters of craftsmanship, and we have enjoyed the seamless cooperation with the most skillful of engineers. Anssi Lassila founded his own practice in 2001. He was joined by Teemu Hirvilammi in 2004 and together they formed Lassila Hirvilammi Architects. The office is based in Seinäjoki (a small town in mid western Finland well known for the Cultural Centre designed by Alvar Aalto) and in Helsinki. Lassila Hirvilammi have been rewarded with major awards and nominations, including the Red Dot award in 2011 and a short listing for Mies van der Rohe award In 2005 and in 2011. The work of Lassila Hirvilammi is about a keen sense of material and a strong respect for craftsmanship, it is about an intensity of sentiment and a commitment to quality.
