His output includes several restorations, such as the Naval Barracks complex in Helsinki, designed by C. L. Engel in the early 19th century, rebuilt and extended for the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (1973­89). He designed numerous schools and residential buildings as well as industrial establishments, for instance Finlan'd first nuclear power plant in Loviisa (1977). In addition to building design tasks, he had various town planning commissions.
