Designing the environment of the future
Arkkitehtitoimisto Helamaa & Heiskanen is a versatile and award-winning architectural company from Tampere. Since 1982, we have undertaken projects with the expertise, ambition, and creativity of our experienced team.
We are innovative, professional, and humane
We design environments where people live, learn, reside, and work throughout their everyday lives. Our expertise is multidisciplinary, and we are guided by the pursuit of finding the best possible outcome every time. With the certainty brought by our extensive experience and a forward-looking perspective, we create functional spaces for long-term use.
Our company specialises in designing educational institutions, office spaces, residential buildings, and urban environments, as well as in the management of other large-scale projects.
Alongside project development and co-development services, we also offer information modelling services as well as interior design, landscaping, and visualisation. We use our expertise for the good of the community and the environment; many of our projects have received both environmental and well-being certifications.
In our daily work, we conduct initial surveys for projects, project evaluations, and planning. We manage the entirety of a project from the conceptual stage to completion while always prioritising the client’s interests.

The Four Qualities of Architecture
Beauty, durability, and functionality are common requirements for good architecture. We add one more quality to the list: user-centeredness. In every project, our goal is to blend the needs of end-users with project requirements, resulting in truly functional and beautiful architecture that stands the test of time.
We have our own quality system with strict standards to ensure high and consistent quality in all our projects.

Visualisation and Models
Modelling
We implement all our construction projects based on information modelling. Information models can be utilised throughout the entire lifecycle of a construction project, from the planning phase to commissioning and even as a maintenance tool during a building’s use.
Visualisation
3D and information modelling enable the visualisation of sketches and plans at different stages of the design process. Visualisation allows us to create illustrative model images and videos. With VR technology, it’s also possible to step inside the model.
