ARK-house - Major Building Helsinki Seafarers' Centre, Finland 2009 photograph : Jussi Tiainen ARK-house Architects - key design This building is situated by the main entrance to the Vuosaari harbour. In practice the building location is the only point in the whole harbour area that contains any natural forms and elements. As the only public building in the area, its role is to serve as a place of respite; a small multipurpose building for the seamen that arrive at the harbour form afar.

Olavinlinna Castle Canopy & auditorium, Olavinlinna, Savonlinna, Finland - Design: Ark-house Architects image from architects Olavinlinna Castle Canopy The castle of Olavinlinna was founded in 1475, the first stage of the building being completed in 1496. Extensive restoration was carried out from 1959 to 1975. The canopy and auditorium were made for performances in the Savonlinna Opera Festival, which is held annually in July. They are dismantled after the festival and re-erected the next year. Villa Pinia, Jurmala, Latvia 2008 Design: Ark-house Architects photo : Jari Jetsonen Villa Pinia Jurmala When designing abroad the lack of knowledge of the foreign culture must partly be replaced by empathising with and throwing oneself into the genius loci. Jurmala in Latvia has a fabled past as the laid-back summer resort of the upper classes during the Soviet era. More buildings by ARK-house online soon
