The Minnantähti building was designed simultaneously with that of the Minnankantti company in 2000-01. They are architecturally very similar and form a single entity occupying half of a block. Residents share use of the yard and the terrace and pergola on the roof of the commercial annex with those of the Minnankantti building, and they are also able to sunbathe on another terrace located on the roof of the third floor apartments. The shop premises open out onto the street by dint of their large glazed bay windows.

We think that adaptability is more important than flexibility when it comes to creative collaboration.

The ability to tell the same story, even if the amount of pages in the book would change. With the experience of hundreds of both small and large projects, we can deduce that even though we are very proud of what we have accomplished, the merit for our best work goes to our clients. They have shared our point of view, that we can succeed only because we share the same vision and dream. We design spaces, buildings and environments that are comfortable to live and work in, pleasant to the eye and sustainable. We are a creative design and architecture office, we want to create an inclusive world all around us - Piece by Piece.
