Office

We are a Helsinki-based architectural firm specializing in demanding renovations, challenging new construction and urban development.

Key projects currently underway include the refurbishment of the listed Finnish National Theater and Lahti City Hall. aDT is Snøhetta´s local partner in the further development of Elielinaukio and Asema-aukio, based on the winning proposal “Klyyga” in an invited architectural competition. Our latest completed and published project is the Kuopio Museum.

aDT offers 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.

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. The pursuit of a carefully considered balance between our architectural heritage, resource-effective building design and a good urban environment guides all our design efforts.

Working within the built environment gives us the opportunity to promote sustainable architecture and the objectives of a carbon neutral society. Sustainable development and circular economy are key areas in the continued development of our operations.

Founded in 1985, aDT is a Helsinki-based architectural firm that employs 16 people in both architectural and interior design. From 1991 to 1995, the office was located in Berlin. Our implemented projects can be found in Finland, Berlin, Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The office´s management team consists of the design principals Aki Davidsson, Jaana Tarkela and Niklas Mahlberg, who serves as the office’s managing director.

aDT is a member of The Association of Finnish Architects
