Playa Architects is a Helsinki based architecture practice founded in 2007.
We believe in the future, thorough design, play, sustainability, passion, architectural pluralism and quality. We are interested in fusing tradition and local identity with a contemporary sensibility and an international, future-oriented mindset. 

We see every project as an opportunity to open up a bold (new) perspective and interpretation. Every solution is a response to the particular needs and potential of each project we tackle, covering a wide spectrum from one-family homes to large-scale urban planning. Working in different scales is an important and natural way of learning to master the bigger picture – not to mention a fun challenge.

We regularly take part in architectural competitions both in Finland and internationally in order to study and develop new design tools, approaches and solutions. The roots of our practice lie in the numerous prizes we have won in architectural competitions.
