Originally
founded in 1974 as the Architectural Office Aulikki and Martinus
Schuurman, the office expanded in 1984 with the commission for the
Wärtsilä-Strand Hotel as a Helsinki-based practice. Nowadays the office
works under its present name in Finland but also on projects abroad,
especially the Baltics and lately Russia.
Although modest in size, the office has gained wide experience in large hotel projects, restaurations and private houses.
In
addition, the office has been working on extensive mixed-development
projects in Estonia.
Characteristic
of the way the office works is the meticulous attention paid to the
programm specifications, before embarking on the architectural design.www.schuurmanarchitects.com
