The Pa-La block house was originally planned to be a common space of a housing association block. The building houses sauna and washing areas, a WC and a common space equipped with a mini-kitchen.

The common space of the block house with its large windows creates a bright atmosphere for pastime and relaxation by the log-fire. A large open terrace was built in front of the block house for recreation and cooling off. The terrace is encircled by a steel bar railing, and the terrace floor boarding is of Siberian larch.

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.
