Cedercreutz Arkkitehdit Oy is a Helsinki based architectural office founded in 1996.

Our office’s design philosophy is project-, environment-, and client-centred. Tailored. Unique projects require their own distinctive solutions. The user’s goals and desires, the physical possibilities and limitations imposed by the site or property, the zoning plan and regulations set by authorities and their interpretations, and finally, our own perspective and vision for the project, together form a unique solution every time.

We approach each project, no matter it’s size, with a user-centred focus. Our passion is to create buildings, spaces, and details that serve and bring pleasure to their users in every way.

We believe that a building must fit into its environment. Interior spaces must blend with the exterior spaces, which must then integrate with the surrounding yard area, and all of this must be in harmony with the larger environment. We want this connection to be felt as one moves through and around the site.

It is also extremely important to us to design long-lasting buildings. We believe this is the most significant way to practice ecological construction.

This means many things both on an immaterial and tangible level: a well and carefully designed, structurally sound, and beautifully aging building that is mindful of its surroundings and has timeless architecture, becomes beloved by its users, who will then take care of it for, hopefully, many generations.

We have always favoured traditional, proven structures and natural materials, applied to meet the demands and expectations of today’s world. We continually follow the development of the construction industry, selectively adopting good innovations with the careful caution gained from decades of experience.
