Four-cornered villa, Virrat, central Finland
Design: Avanto Architects
Four-cornered villa
This building is a sustainable country cottage. The cross like shape of this simple villa reaches towards four very different views. The space is open and defined at the same time. The exterior is treated black and to contrast the interior is very light. The building is insulated well and heated by wood from own forest only.
Ski Resort Levi

Lapland Ski Resort
The future Ski Village will transform the existing Levi ski resort into a world class destination, offering top quality accommodation and leisure services for skiers of all levels and demands. The proximity to the Kittilä airport ensures easy access to the resort attracting international visitors to Levi village and the whole Lapland region.
Chapel of St.Lawrence, Vantaa
Design: Avanto Arkkitehdit Ltd
Chapel of St Lawrence
Winner of the European Copper in Architecture Awards
This dedicated cemetery chapel aims to reconcile the emotional needs of mourners with the pragmatic demands of funerals. The building uses similar materials to the old structures in the area and the roof is patinated copper, like the roof of the old church.
