aDT Oy

We are a Helsinki-based architectural firm specializing in demanding renovations, challenging new construction and urban development. We offer a wide range of design services to both public and private sector clients. Extensive expertise, close cooperation with the client and a networked design approach with other experts are at the core of our operations. We operate reliably in a variety of project and implementation formats, utilizing the latest digital design tools. Working together with the Client our approach is conversational and analytical. The possibilities of the site conditions and the needs of the project form the basis of the physical and cultural identity of each project. We strive for expressive, distinctive, and lasting architecture, which is based on the synthesis of the spirit of the place and functional and material structuring. We believe that a building should have an overarching architectural motif from the large scale to the detail level. The pursuit of a carefully considered balance between our architectural heritage, sustainable building design and a good urban environment guides all our design efforts. Our design work is guided by discoveries learned through the process of building historical research, project design, construction, and post-occupancy. In the design work on re-determined heritage buildings, sustainable thinking has been at the core of the operation from the very beginning and continues to be a fundamental theme guiding all our activities.
