Huttunen-Lipasti Architects Oy is an architectural office based in Helsinki, Finland, active since 1998. The firm was founded to address contemporary architectural needs in both urban and regional contexts, focusing on residential, civic, and cultural projects. The team's reputation initially grew through high-quality apartment designs, but its portfolio spans a broad spectrum, including public buildings, industrial heritage renovations, competition entries, and adaptive reuse.
The organisation’s work covers new construction, substantial renovations, and urban infill. Recent examples include the transformation of Messinkivalimo, a protected 1915 industrial building in Helsinki’s Telakkaranta area, into modern business premises while preserving its heritage character. This project, inaugurated in 2024, demonstrates the firm's expertise in combining restoration with new uses. Huttunen-Lipasti Architects Oy also contributed as local architects for the acclaimed Serlachius Museum Gösta extension in Mänttä, where they coordinated design collaboration and site adaptation for a €19.5 million, 5,700 sqm timber-clad pavilion.
Current projects reflect a range from large-scale housing developments such as Koirasaaret and Jätkän Kruunu, to community-focused facilities like the Vuosaari Senior Center. The office’s scope also encompasses urban planning—for example, Oulunkylä’s new centre for a growing Helsinki district—and civic architecture, illustrated by their work on service blocks and pavilions.
Huttunen-Lipasti Architects Oy is firmly rooted in Finnish architectural practice, consistently involved in transforming old structures, enhancing public spaces, and shaping new residential environments in Helsinki and beyond.
